Ong Poh Lim (; 18 November 1922 – 17 April 2003) was a Malayan/Singaporean badminton player who won numerous national and international titles from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. Known for his quickness and his aggressive, unorthodox playing style, Ong won many singles and doubles titles, including the Singapore, Malaysia, All-England, French, Danish and Thomas Cup championships in the 1940s and 1950s. He also invented the backhand flick serve known as the “crocodile serve”, a tactic that had been routinely used in the modern game. Ong was a close rival to badminton legend Wong Peng Soon.
== Personal life ==
Ong was born on 18 November 1922, in Kuching, Sarawak. He was the son of Mr Ong and Mrs Ong Kheng Hong. Ong, then a student of St.Thomas's School, Kuching, took a serious interest in badminton only after the visit of two Singapore badminton champions Leow Kim Fatt and Yap Chin Tee to Kuching in 1937. In June 1947, he went to Singapore to work as well as looking for opportunity to improve his attacking game.〔Ho Ah Chon, ''Badminton 1952-1964'' (The Author, Kuching, Sarawak, 1992) 1 - 5.〕 He was greatly assisted by Yap Chin Tee, then considered to be a very good badminton player of Singapore. Ong, remained a bachelor for his whole life and he lived alone at Sennett Close. Besides badminton, Ong was also interested in antiques. He was a keen philatelist and amassed an extensive collection of rare and unusual stamps from all over the world, including those from Indonesia, Sarawak, Brunei and the Straits Settlements.〔 Former president of Singapore, the late Dr. Wee Kim Wee, was an old friend of his.
