KUALA LUMPUR – The Badminton Asia Team Championships (BATC) 2022 will be a platform for S. Kisona to prove that she is back at her best as the country’s top women’s singles shuttler.
After facing numerous challenges in 2021, including inconsistent performance and catching Covid-19 twice, the 23-year-old will be going all out to make amends at BATC, which will be held at the Setia City Convention Centre near here from tomorrow till Sunday.
Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) singles coaching director Wong Choong Hann said Kisona, the 2019 SEA Games champion, has been showing good progress lately to regain her previous form.
“We did look into the areas to improve her physical condition, and she is quite good lately. She has been recuperating and also in terms of on-court training performance is very stable.
“So, just how much that means to transform into winning points, we need to test it out in BATC. It is a good platform even though we have second teams from Japan and India. But they are still strong opponents, so we want that opportunity (to test our players),” he told reporters during team training today.
Apart from world number 64 Kisona, the other singles shuttlers in the squad are Eoon Qi Xuan (126), Siti Nurshuhaini Azman (309), Myisha Mohd Khairul (369) and Tan Zhing Yi (1,484).
Drawn in Group Y, the ladies will start their campaign against India tomorrow, before facing Japan on Wednesday. The top two teams in each group will advance to the semi-finals and earn tickets to the Uber Cup finals in Bangkok, Thailand.
In the absence of former world champion PV Sindhu (7) and former world number one Saina Nehwal (25), India will depend on youngsters Aakarshi Kashyap (56), Malvika Bansod (61) and Ashmita Chaliha (62), while Japan, who are resting their top six players, will be represented by the likes of Natsuki Nidaira (72) and Riko Gunji (181).
Choong Hann said the women shuttlers are working hard to improve their performance, and he hopes they can spring a surprise, after having advanced to the semi-finals during the previous edition in Manila.
Meanwhile, the country’s top-ranked women’s doubles player Pearly Tan, 21, warned her teammates not to take the challenge lightly although Japan and India are not sending their best teams.
“Our target is to qualify for the Uber Cup, but we can’t underestimate the opponents. We have to support each other, give courage and help each other to be highly motivated.
“As the first doubles, M. Thinaah and I will be focused on our own game plan regardless of our opponents. Every match is important; we hope to deliver points for the team,” said the world number 15. – Bernama, February 14, 2022

JOHOR BARU – Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman adopted a conciliatory tone at a Pakatan Harapan event today, calling for a united front to fight “the arrogance of Barisan Nasional (BN)” in Johor.
On the tussle between PKR and Muda, he said it must have been peculiar as many felt that his party was on a mission to “fight with friends” in the opposition.
“Let me remind you that Muda is built to overhaul Malaysia’s politics. In doing so, it must be clear who we are fighting, and who are our friends,” he said during the launch of PH’s election machinery in Pulai here.
The Muar MP added that the vision for the electoral battle is clear, and that all component parties must fight the arrogance of BN.
He warned that any loss in focus will allow BN’s politics to continue, which will see more state polls to come.

Speaking at the launch of Pakatan Harapan and Muda’s election machinery in Johor, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said the coalition had told Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob that the MoU would be “automatically cancelled” if the demand was not met.

China’s tech giants push toward an $8 trillion metaverse opportunity — one that will be highly regulated - China’s technology giants from Tencent to Alibaba and ByteDance are investing in the metaverse, a market that could be worth $8 trillion in the future, according to Morgan Stanley.
- While U.S. firms like Facebook parent Meta and Microsoft are going all-in on the metaverse concept, Chinese companies are taking a more cautious approach amid tighter regulation.
- China’s metaverse could look very different to the rest of the world due to government censorship, strict rules on the technology sector and Beijing’s crackdown on cryptocurrencies.
Imagine this: the metaverse with Chinese characteristics. That’s how the virtual world that everyone’s talking about will likely look in the world’s second-largest economy.
China’s technology giants are beginning to invest in the metaverse — the latest buzzword in internet technology. It’s a term with no concrete definition, but largely taken to mean virtual worlds that people will be playing and living in.
Censorship will likely be rife and regulation tight as Beijing continues to keep a close check on the practices of its domestic technology firms.

- The Pentagon ordered all U.S. troops in Ukraine to leave the country and reposition elsewhere in Europe.
- The new marching order comes as an estimated 100,000 Russian troops equipped with advanced weaponry line Ukraine’s eastern border and northern border with Belarus.
- Meanwhile, the State Department reduced its diplomatic staff at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv to the “bare minimum.”
WASHINGTON – Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered U.S. troops who deployed to Ukraine last year to leave the country and reposition elsewhere in Europe.
The new marching order comes as an estimated 100,000 Russian troops equipped with advanced weaponry line Ukraine’s eastern border and the northern border with Belarus, a Moscow ally.
In November, 160 members of the Florida National Guard, assigned to the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, deployed to Ukraine to train with local forces.
“The Secretary made this decision out of an abundance of caution — with the safety and security of our personnel foremost in mind — and informed by the State Department’s guidance on U.S. personnel in Ukraine,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby wrote in a statement.

PETALING JAYA: Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad has told Perikatan Nasional (PN) to stay out of the upcoming Johor state elections if it wants Barisan Nasional to lose.
In a statement today, the Amanah MP said PN “holds the key to BN’s defeat” in the state elections, and accused the coalition of being “a tool of BN to help split anti-BN votes”.
He cited the Melaka polls as an example, where he said PN candidates caused a split in votes.
This helped BN to win the state elections by grabbing nearly two-thirds of the seats despite getting only 38% of the popular vote. BN won 21 out of the 28 contested seats, while Pakatan Harapan won five, followed by two seats for PN.

Women’s groups demand deputy women’s minister Siti Zailah step down for ‘normalising’ domestic violence
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 — A coalition of women’s groups today demanded for Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff’s resignation for her controversial remark seen to be endorsing domestic violence.
In a joint statement, the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) said that the comment made by the lawmaker from Islamist party PAS may result in domestic violence being normalised.
“The deputy minister must step down for normalising domestic violence, which is a crime in Malaysia as well as for perpetuating ideas and behaviours that are opposed to gender equality,” it said.
“During the movement control order period in 2020 and 2021 alone there were 9,015 police reports on domestic violence; these statistics may not include reports received by NGOs and other support organisations.
