Ng Boon Bee (Chinese: 伍文美; pinyin: Wǔ Wénměi; born 17 December 1937) is a well-known Malaysia badminton player in the era of the 1960s and early 1970s. His success in doubles earned him recognition as one of greatest doubles players in badminton history. In combination, first, with Tan Yee Khan and later with Punch Gunalan he won men's doubles events in Malaysia, Singapore, Canadian, US, Denmark and German. He shared the prestigious All-England men's doubles title on three occasions, 1965, 1966, and 1971, the first two with Yee Khan and the last with Gunalan.[1] Known for his quickness, power, and anticipation, Boon Bee was a member of Malaysia's world champion Thomas Cup (men's international) team in 1967.[2] He was inducted into the World Badminton Hall of Fame in 1998. A fine all-around athlete, Boon Bee also represented Malaysia in football (soccer) at one time.
