BANGKOK – Koen Pang and Zeng Jian triumphed in the SEA Games table tennis mixed doubles competition on Dec 17, helping Singapore regain the title last won at the 2021 edition in Vietnam.

At the Central Westgate Mall, the world No. 56 Singaporeans beat Malaysia’s Tee Ai Xin and Wong Qi Shen 11-6, 11-7, 11-2 to taste victory.

At the 2023 edition in Cambodia, the Singapore duo of Clarence Chew and Zeng settled for silver when they lost to Vietnam in the final.

Pang and Izaac Quek will face Malaysia’s Choong and Wong Qi Shen in the men’s doubles final later in the evening.

In the day’s earlier matches, the women’s doubles team of Ser Lin Qian and debutante Loy Ming Ying picked up a joint-bronze after falling 3-1 to Thailand’s Tamolwan Khetkhuan and Jinnipa Sawettabut in the semi-finals.

On Dec 14, Singapore retained their men’s team gold, while the women picked up a silver in the team event.
