Wong offers to help revive badminton’s sagging fortunes


“I realised that I would never be as competitive as before and it could only last up to a certain point. I decided that I need to stop and put my energy into a new environment” said Wong Choong Hann of his decision to quit badminton. — ART CHEN/The Star

PETALING JAYA: Former international Wong Choong Hann (pic) will not rule himself out of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) coaching director’s post — if the opportunity arises.

The 41-year-old, a one-time World Championships silver medallist, declared himself open to any possibility and is prepared to give it a shot if there’s a chance for him to help revive the dwindling fortunes of Malaysian badminton.
