Hint: they were all part of a national team :)

Khir Johari the sports minister with glasses on the far right, probably Ng Boon Bee sitting third from the left, Tan Aik Huang sitting third from the right...and that is all I can name (i.e. guess).

James Selvaraj is sitting at the far left.
 
They are the Malaysian Thomas Cup 1976 team.
To be honest, I only know Dominique Soong, fourth from right. :D
I was hpoing someone else can tell me who the rest are.

I Tried to search for Info on the team, but only found that they lost in the Final to INA 9-0.

Where did you get the picture? why did they meet together?
 
Dominique Soong has a badminton academy here in Ottawa. He went back to Malaysia this summer to have a reunion. I volunteered at his academy a few times.

From left,

James, Foot Lian , ?, Cheah Hong Chong, Dominic?, Phua Ah Hua, Saw Swee Leong,Moe Chin Keat.
 
I think unknown could be Kwek Chew Peng.

most are easily recognised as they are in KL except for Dominic and Ah Hua.

they were the 1976 Msian T cup team.
 
I know where is this restaurant. It is Soo Kee in Bukit Bintang KL. The noodles over there is very delicious. Anyone go to KL must try this out.

Off topic...Speaking of food..
