At my age, there is no point carrying on playing in theinternational arena. I will be writing to the MSBF soon to tell them of my decision and it final, said Hong.
Moh, who represented Malaysia at the Korat sea games last year won the silver medal, however, he has nothing to prove and feels it’s time he gave up the gruelling schedule and long training hours to enjoy his older years, he explained,
no longer have the desire to play for the country because of my age. The training, especially in billiards, is very demanding and I just cannot ake it anymore.’
