Independent or not, shouldn't the best shuttlers represent Malaysia?

Image
  There have been plenty of conversations about our national shuttlers going independent. There are those who don't see it as a problem. There are others who seem disturbed by it. But many of them seem to ignore the visions, missions and objectives of the BA of Malaysia (BAM). The image above, a screenshot from BAM's website , shows the objectives. Note: It does not read "owning players". The image below shows BAM's vision and mission. The mission states to have a big pool of world class players, bigger pool of back-up players and to implement development programmes. Once again, it does not say "to own players". As such, it comes to no surprise to why BAM has accommodated independent players as the leadership is simply keeping true to the national body's visions, missions and objectives. This is also reflected in the July 14, 2021 press statement below: And the statement by its president pubslihed in The Star  on July 24, 2021: BAM president Tan Sri

1. Saya telah berkecimpung dalam dunia kewartawanan sejak tahun 2000. Saya bermula sebagai seorang wartawan sukan.  2. Ramai yang telah saya temuramah sepanjang karier saya. Saya pernah minum kopi bersama pemandu teksi, lepak sama Pak Guard, berborak pasal PS2 dengan pemain tennis terkemuka Rafael Nadal, duduk sebelah bekas pemandu F1 Mika Hakkinen dalam Mercedes AMG SLS yang dipandunya, serta duduk semeja dengan tokoh korporat dan menteri dari dalam dan luar negara. 3. Saya juga mempunyai blog. Ada yang meninggalkan komen di blog, apa pula yang emel. Ada pula yang DM saya di laman media sosial saya. Sesetangah komen-komen tersebut agak pedas, tetapi sebagai 'Anon' atau menggunakan akaun "private". Saya hanya gelak kerana mereka ini pandai komen but tak berani nak letak nama sebenar. Tetapi saya tidak pernah tergerak untuk membuat tanda pagar (hashtag) bagi individu-individu sebegini. 4. Ada pula atlet dan pegawai yang tidak berpuas hati dengan hasil penulisan atau ko

There's a new club in town - Lee Zii Jia Badminton Club. So who is funding it?

Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker revealed there's a new badminton club in town. It's called the Lee Zii Jia Badminton Club. Ti, had in his Facebook posting, also revealed that Indra Wijaya, whose contract with the BA of Malaysia ending next month, will be Lee's coach. It's interesting to see an upcoming shuttler setting up his own badminton centre. Traditionally, such centres are basically retirement plans set up by players who have clocked plenty of time on the court. The other question that many have on their minds - who is funding Lee Zii Jia Badminton Club? I'm sure sponsors and investors are eager to know the business model and the monetisation plan to determine the sustainability of such an initiative. Going professional equals to a whole lot of money. There are coaches to pay, equipment to purchase, services to render and travel obligations which aren't cheap.  All the best to Lee Zii Jia and his new club!  P/S: It would be equally
