Bad start to the year for Kian Meng-Pei Jing

The independent mixed badminton pair, Tan Kian Meng and Lai Pei Jing, are struggling in both performance and sponsorship. Following mediocre results last year, they've lost most backers, except for Victor, their equipment sponsor. A recent loss in the Malaysia Open further hampers their Paris Olympics qualification bid. Pei Jing expressed disappointment, emphasizing the need for financial support amid these challenges.
