PETALING JAYA: Men’s singles shuttler Leong Jun Hao is racing against time to remove his slow-starter tag for good.

Jun Hao is aware of it and is bent on fixing the issue before the Sudirman Cup starting from April 27-May 4 in Xiamen, China.

On paper, Jun Hao may not have produced impressive results in the tournaments he has competed in this year, but the 25-year-old has shown promising signs when going up against the world’s top players.
