Guess the players

Here’s a game taken from many years back where we see a Malaysian vs a future World Champ. I put the game here in full - minus the tournament details and opponent names of course. Let’s see who will be the first to guess the player names.

Clue and some background: Played in Kuala Lumpur. This future world champion has just demolished our local players like Joseph Toh and Mok Tze Meng in previous rounds.
