History edit

In the Amateur Era, Ong Poh Lim (1950–1956, 1959, 1962) holds the record for the most titles in the Men's Doubles, winning Singapore Open nine times. He share the record for most consecutive titles of seven with Ismail Marjan from 1950 to 1956. The most back-to-back finals ever reached in men's doubles was also achieved by Ong when he reached 13 consecutive finals between 1950 and 1962, a record he still holds till this day.

Since the Open Era of badminton began in late 1979,^[4] Sigit Budiarto (1997–1998, 2005–2006) holds the record for the most Men's Doubles titles with four. Rexy Mainaky and Ricky Subagja (1994–1995), Sigit Budiarto and Candra Wijaya (1997–1998) and Hendra Setiawan (2012–2013) share the record for most consecutive victories with two. Sigit also managed to achieve the feat twice with his second coming in 2005–2006, when he partnered Candra Wijaya and Flandy Limpele respectively.
