Rexy lured back home

Former national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky is reported to head back to Indonesia as the badminton giants plan to revamp its national set up.

Rexy left the BA of Malaysia in April after the Indonesian revealed he took up a job offer by the Philippines BA as per my article in The Malay Mail. It was a two-year contract.

Hardly six months working in the Philippines, Rexy will now oversee PBSI's development programme.

PBSI's new general secretary Koesdarto Pramono was quoted by The Jakarta Post as saying;

 “He is a young guy full of creativity and ideas. We all know Rexy has coached overseas and those countries have made progress.

"Rexy’s appointment may end his overseas work, which have seen him coach both English and Malaysian players for several years before moving to the Philippines."

However, the same article saw Rexy declining comment over his possible move to Jakarta.

“I cannot comment [about the appointment] as yet,” Rexy said, as quoted by Antara.

PBSI's plans to lure Rexy, Susi Susanti and Ricky Subagja into the natioanl stable was also reported by Badzine. This is part of Indonesia's plans to strengthen their national team as they have been far from impressive and failed to live up to their tag as the region's best in recent years.

A former Olympic gold medalist, Rexy started working for BAM in July 2005 as the national doubled coach. He paired up Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong who took the world by storm by winning the Asian Games gold medal in 2006 before winning the All-England title a year later.

However, the inconsistent performance by Kien Keat-Boon Heong rattled Rexy's position and he was later made into the women’s doubles coach instead.

During his stint in KL, Rexy threatened to quit on several occasions but left the country for good earlier this year.

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won. Read more in today's Mailsport. As expected members of the Press - even those not from the Sports Desk - had numerous questions for Kim Swee. Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak...
