Tze Liang now in the same league as mentor Ken Nee

Spring in his step: Ooi Tze Liang in action during the men’s 3m springboard final at the Aquatic Centre in New Clark City.

AS a teenager, Ooi Tze Liang looked up to Yeoh Ken Nee as a role model when he took the plunge into diving.

The 26-year-old has now placed himself on equal status with his former mentor after claiming his fourth straight SEA Games gold medal in the men’s 3m springboard individual at New Clark City Aquatic Center yesterday.
