PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttler Toh Ee Wei has credited her mother, Jane Yeo, for being the driving force behind her success.

Jane has worked at Mamee for 33 years, and Ee Wei said her mother’s commitment has shaped her work ethic.

“Not many people know this, but my mum has been working at Mamee for 33 years,” said Ee Wei, who received the Mamee Gold Trophy on Saturday (Nov 29).

“I grew up watching her work hard every day, and her dedication has always inspired me.

"Receiving this trophy feels special. Thank you to the Mamee family for supporting my mum, my family and me. Your support means a lot to us.”

Ee Wei and her partner Chen Tang Jie, the reigning world mixed doubles champions after their triumph in August, are now preparing for two major assignments - the SEA Games in Thailand from Dec 7–14 and the World Tour Finals in Hangzhou, China, from Dec 17–21.
