BAM orders full medical check-up for Cheh Chang after collapse

Malaysian National junior doubles coach Pang Cheh Chang will undergo a comprehensive medical examination following his collapse during the National Under-18 Championships in Alor Star, according to the BAM deputy president, Datuk V. Subramaniam. The former national shuttler was taken to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital after he experienced dizziness and slumped in his coaching chair during a match, requiring urgent medical attention.

Initially unable to speak, Chang regained his ability to communicate shortly after admission. Subramaniam revealed that the coach would be sent for a thorough medical check-up upon his return, pending the hospital's report. The tournament organizers have not yet determined whether Chang will resume his duties, following the medical advice.

The incident may have been linked to hazy conditions or dehydration, although official confirmation has not been made.
