PETALING JAYA: Rising squash player Simarver Singh’s inspiration to pick up a squash racquet came after meeting Malaysian icon Ong Beng Hee 10 years ago, and the youngster is now carving his own path, hoping to emulate his role model.

The 15-year-old, who is No. 1 in the Asian Junior Under-15 ranking, said a meeting with Beng Hee was the moment everything changed for him.
