GEORGE TOWN: Whether or not Malaysia can bring back the elusive Olympic gold medal in badminton from Paris, the sport will become costlier, even for casual players, with an expected hike in the price of shuttlecocks.Loh Eng Swee, 62, who operates a racquet shop in Bukit Dumbar, said a tube of shuttlecocks could be pricier by 10% to 20%.
He said the last price hike took place as recently as June, with popular ones now costing RM87 instead of RM76 a dozen.
