Career

Lim Kee Fong won the first edition of the world championship for men's teams , the Thomas Cup , with the Malaysian team in the 1948/49 season .

For the final, he and his seven teammates Chan Kon Leong , Law Teik Hock , Yeoh Teck Chye , Teoh Seng Khoon , Wong Peng Soon , Ooi Teik Hock , Ong Poh Lim and the non-playing captain Lim Chuan Geok took part in a 25- day cruise to the UK, where the Malays were confronted with a European winter for the first time. Lim Kee Fong, however, suffered the bitter fate that he was only on the bench in both the semi-finals against the USA and in the final against Denmark.

Once in Europe, Malaya's badminton aces took part in other international tournaments and exhibition matches in 1949. Lim Kee Fong and Ong Poh Lim won the Irish Open in men's doubles . The entire team also won an international match against Sweden 6-0. In the All England , Lim Kee Fong threw himself off the frustration about not playing in the Thomas Cup final in the game against Marten Mendez , who had caused immense difficulties for his teammates Wong Peng Soon and Ooi Teik Hock in the Thomas Cup. Fong won straight in two sets, but lost the game in the next round against George Lewis from India with 15:18 and 13:15.

In his homeland, Fong won the Selangor Open Championships in 1949 in both singles and doubles with Ng Sik Kee . A year later he was defeated in the final, where he stood for the third time in a row, to Abdullah Piruz in three hard-fought sets. In 1949 he was in the semi-finals of the Malaysian Open .

In 1955 Lim Kee Fong won the Thomas Cup again .
