At nineteen he was a bronze medalist at the 1980 IBF World ChampionshipsinJakarta, losing in the semifinals to fellow countryman Liem Swie King.[1] On the international badminton circuit Pongoh's wins included the Swedish (1981), Indonesia (1984), and Chinese Taipei (1985) Opens, the 1981 Copenhagen Cup (forerunner of the Copenhagen Masters), and the 1982 Indian Masters.
