PETALING JAYA: The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have increased the players’ allowances in a bid to get them to stay in the national team.

This comes about following criticism from shuttlers like the Ng sisters – women’s doubles players Hui Lin and Hui Ern – last December. Both Hui Lin and Hui Ern have since quit the team. Two-time women’s singles national champion Yang Li Lian was the latest to quit the squad, handing in her resignation last month to concentrate on her studies.
