00:42 to about R170,000 to help him overcome his plight. Loh said the funds will be used for

00:50 his welfare.

00:52 Loh thanked FMT, National Athletes' Welfare Foundation, squash legend S. Muniam and Best

00:58 Archery Center owner Jeffrey Koch, who employed him at the height of his despair, for coming

01:04 to his aid.

01:06 Loh was a former six-time national number one squash player in the 1980s and 1990s and

01:13 was rated number four in Asia and number 38 in the world.

01:18 He was also the national coach of the Squash Racquet Association of Malaysia.

01:24 Loh then went on to coach the Federal Territories, Thailand, Pahang and Perak teams before coaching

01:31 became difficult for him due to his failing health.
