She was Singapore's badminton star of the 1950s and was the youngest winner of the Malaysia Open women's singles and doubles titles when she won it at the age of 15.[2] Helen was also the most successful female shuttler in Singapore Open history with 15 titles (seven in singles and eight in doubles)[3] and the first female player from Singapore to participate in the Uber Cup as part of the Malayan team in 1956.[4][5]
