S2E55: Malaysia's Jackie Chan

 A decorated wushu exponent, Loh Jack Chang aka Malaysia's Jackie Chan spent the better part of the last decade bringing glory to Malaysia at various international tournaments. On Jan 1, he called time on his career as he hung his swords and wushu outfit to be a mechanical engineer. In what's seen to be a big jump - what's life after sport like? Is it a constant worry for current athetles? Are there support mechanisms in place to cater to veterans' needs? We explore.
