Congrats to Mr Poh for being the President of Oceania Badminton. I played with him and also with the son of Ong Beng Teong in early 2000 at Monash University. The games were awewome. He was kind enough to send me from Monash back to the city. We had a great chat in his black Mercedez. He also partnered Ong Beng Teong in some tournaments during his younger days in Melbourne.
Notes.
