KUALA LUMPUR: Reigning world mixed doubles champions Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei are embracing a bold challenge thrown by national mixed doubles head coach Nova Widianto to return from the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand with nothing less than the gold medal.

Ee Wei said the target is not just a coach’s ambition but it is a testament to Nova’s unwavering belief in their ability to restore the gold for Malaysia,  last captured by Tang Jie when he paired with Peck Yen Wei at the 2021 edition in Vietnam.
