SEPANG: Finally, Malaysia’s Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong will end their seven-year partnership after returning home from the London Olympic Games empty-handed.

The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) are resorting to this action following the pair’s failure to win a medal in the men’s doubles event at the London Olympic Games, said BAM president Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh said at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) yesterday.
