KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 (Bernama) -- The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) is fielding its strongest line-up for the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand, scheduled to start from Dec 9-20.

According to the list released by the sports governing body today, all the champions in their respective categories are scheduled to compete in the biennial games, including two world champions, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik (men's doubles) and Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei (mixed doubles), as well as the 2025 world women's doubles runner-up Pearly Tan-M.Thinaah.
