Loh Kean Yew one win away from becoming Singapore’s first Asian badminton champion
Loh Kean Yew is already in the history books by becoming the first Singaporean to reach a Badminton Asia Championships final, and the world No. 7 will be eyeing the regional crown with another win on Sunday.
On Saturday, the 2021 world champion beat China’s 14th-ranked Lu Guangzu 21-19, 21-15 in 42 minutes at the Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Indoor Hall in Dubai to advance to Sunday’s final, where he will meet Indonesia’s world No. 2 Anthony Ginting.
If he succeeds in overcoming Ginting – whom he lost to in their last three encounters – Loh will be just the ninth player to win the world and Asian titles.

Cambodia Joins Forces With Singapore on Carbon Trade
Cambodia and Singapore have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on carbon credits and work together towards carbon emission targets, sustainable development and environmental integrity.
Choup Paris, Undersecretary of State of the Environment Ministry, said the MoU was signed on April 26 in Singapore between Minister of Environment Say Samal and Singapore’s Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong.
“Cambodia and Singapore will cooperate on the carbon trade because we are a country that protects the forests and acts on greenhouse gas emission, meaning we sell carbon credits and Singapore buys them,” he said.
Cambodia earned about $11.6 million between 2016 and 2020 from carbon credits from projects at the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in Mondulkiri province, the REDD+ Project at the Southern Cardamom National Park in Koh Kong province and the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary in Stung Treng province.
