PETALING JAYA: Former men’s doubles shuttler Lim Khim Wah may be best known for his exploits on the badminton court, but he has taken a different path since retiring, choosing not to stay in badminton and instead opening a snooker training centre.

Khim Wah, who retired in 2023, now runs The J Trick Snooker and Cafe in Klang, Selangor, which has been operating since August.
