Jun Hoong the second athlete to retire


PETALING JAYA: “Twenty two years in diving and I think it’s time for me to enter a new chapter,” that’s the parting words of Malaysia’s only world diving champion Cheong Jun Hoong.

The experienced Jun Hoong is the second Malaysian to quit competitive diving in the last one week after Leong Mun Yee. Both athletes come from Perak and have certainly achieved a lot of firsts for Malaysia.
