Penang's squash king and queen

It couldn't have come at a better time. As George Town celebrates its World Heritage listing this weekend, we were all watching Penang's two squash players making names for themselves at the Malaysia open squash championship in Kuala Lumpur.

First, it was 28-year-old Ong Beng Hee (presently ranked 11th in the world but likely to break into the top 10 again) who won the Malaysia open for the third time in his career. Then, it was Nicol David (world's top ranked women's player) who took the Malaysia open women's title for the fourth time. Both are at the top of their game and they are from Penang. Let's not forget it.
