PETALING JAYA: “Papa, I will win more medals than you one day.”

Wilson Ng Soon Tuan did not think much of what his four-year-old son said back in 2004.

Now, 17 years later, Wilson, who runs his own badminton academy STyLc in Johor Baru, was beaming with pride when he watched Tze Yong, now 21, on the television screen going head-to-head with world No. 7 Jonatan Christie of Indonesia in the Thomas Cup quarter-finals on Friday.
