KUALA LUMPUR: Badminton may be the top performer at the last Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro but the sport is not spared from National Sports Council (NSC)’s belt-tightening exercise.

Badminton won three silvers medals through Lee Chong Wei (men’s singles), Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong (men’s doubles) and Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying (mixed doubles) in Rio.
