Teh Kew San
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teh Kew San (born 1934) is a former Malaysian badminton player who won national and international titles from the late 1950's to the mid 1960's. An "all-rounder" (player competitive in all three events: singles, doubles, and mixed doubles), his greatest successes came in men's doubles with Lim Say Hup. They won a number of major international tournaments on three continents, most notably the prestigious All-England title in 1959[1]. Kew San's singles titles included the Mexico City International in 1960 and the Asian Championship in 1962[2]. Known for his agility and deft racket work, he was a member of four consecutive Malayan/Malaysian Thomas Cup teams (1958, 1961, 1964, 1967), the last of which captured the world team title[3].
