Separately, Jason Teh is “thankful” for both the positive and negative comments he received since becoming the new face of Singapore badminton.
Finally, check out our feature on golfer Shannon Tan, who talks about her love for golf, interesting experiences and who has influenced her the most. This is the first in a series on six nominees for the 2024 ST Athlete of the Year award.
