Who is Ong Beng Hee?

Ong Beng Hee is a professional squash player from Malaysia.

With four successive Asian Championship titles from 2000–2006; gold medals in both the 2002 and 2006 Asian Games, 11 PSA Tour titles from 19 final appearances, and a career-best world ranking of No 7, Ong Beng Hee has become Malaysia’s most successful men squash player of all-time. In August 1998, the Penang teenager crowned a glittering junior career in the USA by becoming the World Junior Champion – an achievement that made him the first non-Pakistani Asian to claim the most prestigious junior title.

He began the new millennium outside the top 40. But by the end of the year, he had won his first Asian Championship, had become the first Malaysian to qualify for the British Open, and had gone on to make the quarter-finals. He had also secured three PSA titles. The third of these was in Kuala Lumpur where he became the first home winner of the prestigious Malaysian Open. His sparkling year was rewarded by a leap into the top ten, and a career-best world number 7 ranking in December 2001.
