Lagger Chan: "The contract may end here"

Arronax's post for Lagger thanks him for "an incredible year with ARRONAX Malaysia" and for his commitment, energy, hard work and every achievement he fought for while representing the brand. "As our journey together comes to an end," it reads, "the contract may end here, but the memories, friendship, and connection will always remain."

It wishes him nothing but success in the next chapter of his career. The graphic that opens the post reads "All the best as you embark on this new path."

Two days before that farewell, Arronax had congratulated Lagger on WPC Bali 2026, where he took gold in the 5.0 Below Mixed Doubles and bronze in the 5.0 Below Men's Doubles.

The 4 Oct post thanks Yihern for "being part of the arronax family" over the past year. Arronax describes his passion, commitment and fighting spirit, saying he was always aggressive on court and always willing to push harder. It wishes him success in his next chapter, and its graphic reads "Best of luck in your next adventure."

Arronax had called him "our junior player" on 1 Aug, when he won two bronze medals at the Leapmotor PPA Singapore Open 2026, in U18 Mixed Doubles and U18 Boys Doubles.
