Coach Cheh Chang stable after collapsing during national U-18 event

Kuala Lumpur - Kedah BA president Datuk Teoh Teng Chor announced that national junior doubles coach Pang Cheh Chang was in stable condition following an illness during the National Under-18 Championships. The incident took place at the KBA Hall while Cheh Chang was coaching his team, Wong Tze Han and Teoh Chong Yee. Cheh Chang, a former national shuttler, felt unwell and collapsed in his coaching chair before being attended to by medical staff and transported to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star.

The cause of his dizziness remains unclear, with the hazy conditions in Alor Star, where the Air Pollutant Index (API) reading was 119 on Wednesday morning, a potential factor. Cheh Chang is currently resting and is showing improvement, according to Teoh Teng Chor. Further updates will be provided.
