Great players don’t automatically make great admins: Badminton Association heads

KUALA LUMPUR – Putting the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) in the hands of former national shuttlers may not guarantee success nor return the nation’s status as a powerhouse that it once was.

This is the sentiment expressed by Penang Badminton Association (BA) president Datuk Kah Kau Kiak in response to former player Ong Ewe Hock’s call for BAM management to step down following Malaysia’s disappointing performance at the Thomas & Uber Cup tourney in Bangkok, Thailand.

Ong added that BAM management should be filled by former national players.

In a statement, Kah said “great players do not automatically make them great administrators”.

“Former players should prove their worth by producing world-class players in their respective clubs first.”
