PETALING JAYA: New men’s singles coach Harry Hartono is game for the challenge of reviving a struggling men’s singles department after his first training session with the squad under head coach Datuk Teu Seu Bock got off to a positive start. Harry, who reported for duty at the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) in Bukit Kiara on Tuesday (Feb 10), has a strong reputation to live up to. He was also among the earliest coaches to spot the potential of 2022 world champion Chou Tien-chen while coaching at a high school in Taiwan between 2005 and 2010. The aim is to become world number one and to be a world champion,” said Harry. Harry’s first training session with the men’s singles squad under head coach Datuk Teu Seu Bock also went positively, particularly with the commitment shown by Leong Jun Hao and Justin Hoh.
