Future of Malaysian Badminton ?

“We can even bring in Lin Dan’s coach but he too will not be able to do anything about it.” Chong Wei sums it best when referring to the backup shuttlers after his win at the Perak Open 2010. Even Hafiz Hashim shares the same sentiment when asked about the backup shuttlers' performances; “I hope all of them will catch up next year and give us a better fight in the local tournaments. They must put pressure on the seniors. It just felt like a training match to me.”


Alarming comments indeed from the country top 2 single shuttlers. One would wonder if countries like Japan or the likes of Hong Kong , Taiwan or even Vietnam would overtake us in badminton in the near future. Already we've seen some promising youngsters in the circuit from these countries. 


Let's hope not and hopefully BAM will nick this in the behind very soon.
