Moh Keen Ho settles dispute with MSBF

Moh Keen Ho is still part of the NSC programme.

Moh Keen Ho has decided not to quit the national team after settling his dispute with the Malaysian Snooker and Billards Federation (MSBF) recently.

The federation, however, decided to severe ties with his father Moh Loon Hong with no further action to be taken.

MSBF secretary Melvin Chia said the federation will no longer consider Moh Loon Hong for international assignments under the National Sports Council (NSC) programme.

Moh Loon Hong last represented Malaysia in last year’s Korat Sea Games(2007) where he took a silver in billiards.

Last month, Moh Loon Hong said he wanted to quit the national team while his son Moh Keen Ho and daughter Moh Chaw Theng were considering doing likewise as they were unhappy with the way the federation was handling their respective careers.

“The issue is closed. Moh Keen Ho together with his sister Moh Chaw Theng are still part of the NSC programme,” said Melvin yesterday.

Moh Keen Ho, 22, is the most outstanding among the trio. His best achievement to date was winning the snooker singles title in the Korat Sea Games (Thailand). He also finished seventh in the World Junior(India) meet last year.

In May, the former professional player was the losing finalist in the Hainsworth Singapore Open.

Meanwhile, Ibrahim Amir (Rico) and Elvin Lean (1995 Malaysia Snooker Champion) will represent the country in the fourth leg of the Asian Guinness Tour in Singapore starting on Friday.

Ibrahim, the losing finalist last year, hopes to go one better in this edition.

He is currently eighth with 80 points on the Asian Tour, and needs to maintain his ranking in the top ten to ensure qualification for the World Championships.
