What about Malaysian solidarity?

Why did BA of Malaysia (BAM) president Nadzmi Salleh (pic) back out from the Badminton World Federation (BWF) presidency race - a role he was eager to take on in the first place?

Is it wise for Nadzmi to be part of the Badminton Asia Confederation (BAC) which seems to be in a mess with a legal suit and an injuction filed by the Lebanon Badminton Federation?

Shouldn't Nadzmi spend the same time an energy on BAM - to impart his knowledge as former Proton boss?

Nadzmi and his Indonesian counterpart Justian Suhandinata, who is also running for the BWF presidency, claim Nadzmi's decision to back out of BWF was done based on "Asian solidarity".

For the record, Nadzmi had earlier provided and explanation for his decision of taking up the BAC top post as published on BAM's website.

What about Malaysian solidarity?

HD says: Note - No party encouraged or instructed the author to write the article and the article is merely questioning the need for Nadzmi to wear many hats when he - with the years of knowledge and experience running a big company - could further help BAM and enhance the relationship between all stakeholders involved in the sport in the country.

    Poor guy...perhaps still in shock.

    He might not know what he is doing.

    He got only 2 nominations for BWF presidency and had difficulty finding an excuse to withdraw and now he got BAC position by surprise.

    And now decided not to contest after being persuaded by the other candidate. What a nice or perhaps a pre-arranged platform to withdraw.

    Perhaps BAM council encouraged him to take the BAC position politely and leave BAM graciously.

    Enough damage done in BAM already.

    I don't blame the guy.

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...
