Early life

Ho was born on 29 April 1996 to her father, Albert Ho.[3] When she was young, her family used to go to the Pandan Lake Club.[3] Her mother would take her for swimming classes while her father played badminton.[3] After swimming classes, she and her mother would wait for her father. Yen Mei then started playing badminton with her father and his friends.[3] A year later, she signed up for badminton classes. She got a place at the Bukit Jalil Sports School when she was Form Three.[3]

Ho has said that she would have become a swimmer if not for her father, and that she has no regrets taking up badminton whilst she still favours swimming.[3]
