“Who will I be partnering with? You will have to wait and see, but that will be my last,” she said.

Goh Liu Ying and former partner Tan Peng Soon are the most successful mixed doubles players in Malaysia so far.

The two left the national team for the first time in 2019. On 6 December 2021, Goh’s partner Chan Peng Soon announced in his Instagram post that Chan-Goh have decided to split up after 13 years of playing badminton together.
