PETALING JAYA: Former SEA Games champion Chew Wei Yan has been Jason Loo’s inspiration in his taekwondo career and the poomsae exponent will be chasing something that’s missing from his idol’s collection – an Asian Games medal – when he makes his debut in Hangzhou.

Jason, 22, was in awe as he witnessed Wei Yan clinch the men’s individual (recognised poomsae) gold at the 2017 Kuala Lumpur SEA Games.
