Experienced Malaysian badminton pair Kian Meng and Pei Jing are likely to compete in their final Malaysian Open as a duo this year. While they previously faced some misunderstandings, they have since resolved their issues. Their decision to retire depends on Kian Meng's injury concerns and sponsorship availability.
Kian Meng and Pei Jing are likely to play their last Malaysian Open together this year. There has been speculation that Kian Meng, 30, and Pei Jing, 32, have not been on good terms, but he said their issues have been resolved. Kian Meng said their decision to retire this year would depend on his injury problems and sponsorship, not their misunderstanding.
'Pei Jing and I did have some misunderstandings, but it’s in the past,' he said after a training session at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil on Sunday (Jan 5). He added that the two had held a meeting to discuss the issues, and said that everything has been resolved. 'We just had issues where sometimes when my body’s condition was not good, I skipped training. Pei Jing can get a bit emotional sometimes, and she also wants to do well in tournaments,” said Kian Meng. On their retirement plans, Kian Meng said; 'this will likely be our last Malaysian Open. I have many injury problems, and our contract with our equipment sponsor Victor also ends in April.' 'For now, we plan to play until the All-England in March. After that, we will see if we can renew our contract with Victor or get new sponsors,” he added.'I believe it is also time to give way to the juniors. We need to develop more youngsters in the mixed doubles. Pei Jing also has her own plans,” said Kian Meng
