Leong Jun Hao continued his impressive early season form as the Serdang BC player beat Kepong BC’s Thongnuam Pannawit 3-1 (11-9, 11-7, 10-11, 11-9) in the last match to ensure his team finish the game on a positive note.

“For the next few games, I might need to make some adjustments to the lineup especially our mixed doubles pairing because we aim to qualify for the Grand Finals as one of the best six teams,” added Zakry.
