SINGAPORE: After what has been a trying year for Singapore's top badminton players Loh Kean Yew and Yeo Jia Min, they will look to turn things around at the S outheast Asian Games in December.

Both world number nine Loh and world-ranked 19 Yeo are gunning for gold in the singles events at the Games in Thailand, with a target of four medals set by the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA) for its contingent of 18.

"Singapore Badminton Association places a lot of importance and priority on this very significant tournament," said SBA chief executive officer Woo Kaiwei at a media session on Thursday (Nov 6).

"Overall, I would say that we are quietly confident, and we hope that ... all Singaporeans will cheer them on."
