PETALING JAYA: Independent shuttlers Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie are the breed of players who will go the extra mile to improve their careers.

That’s why the world No. 13 mixed doubles pair Soon Huat-Shevon have literally flown thousand of miles away from home to train under the guidance of Olympic Games men’s doubles champion Candra Wijaya in Indonesia to beef up their preparation for the German Open in Mulheim from March 8-13 and the All-England in Birmingham from March 16-20.
