JAKARTA (JP): The Malaysian pair of Choong Tan Fook and Lee
Wan Wah have pulled out of the World Grand Prix finals in Brunei
Darussalam from Aug. 8 to Aug. 12 due to Lee's back injury.

Berita Harian reported that coach Park Joo-bong of South Korea
did not want to risk the pair, who had been split after their
poor performance in the Sudirman Cup and World Championships in
May, at the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in September before a
home crowd.

Two pairs have pulled out of the event so far: Choong and Lee
and Indonesia's second seeded Flandy Limpele and Eng Hian, who
quit badminton in June. (yan)
