Earlier this year, Malaysian badminton player Goh Liu Ying fell victim to a telecom scam, losing around 620,000 RMB. Recently, she posted on social media, hinting that her doubles partner, Chan Peng Soon, had done something “bad” and suggesting they might no longer be able to team up.
Currently, Goh and Chan have unfollowed each other on Instagram. The two have withdrawn from early November’s Japan Masters in Kumamoto and the Korean Masters but are still set to play in the upcoming China Masters in Shenzhen.
Due to speculation surrounding her post, Goh deleted the initial message and later clarified that the withdrawal was due to Chan Peng Soon’s injury, wishing him a speedy recovery. However, she did not clarify what the “bad deed” entailed or respond to further questions.
In 2021, after the Malaysian Badminton Association removed Goh from the national team due to age, Chan chose to leave as well, supporting his longtime partner. This act of loyalty became well-known, despite the mixed outcome of their teamwork since their championship win at the 2022 Korea Open.
They initially planned to compete together through the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. However, recent social media activity suggests a significant rift, casting doubt on their future collaboration.
