PETALING JAYA: Speculation over whether women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah will part ways with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) has been put on hold as all attention will be now on the Sudirman Cup.

The hopes are high on Pearly-Thinaah to deliver strong performance to keep Malaysia’s hope alive at least to reaching the semis again in the mixed team event starting in Xiamen, China, on Sunday.
