One of my favourite photo showing Keong hugging daughter Daphne Wan. This is a great family including Damian , Denice and mum Virginia. They are one of the closest badminton family and I wish them the best.

There were so many great photos of parent and child bonding through badminton. It has been a great honour to have presented and sponsored such a great family event.
