Malaysian Open postponed due to Covid-19 outbreak, says BAM


PETALING JAYA: The Celcom Axiata Malaysian Open, scheduled to be held at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil from March 31 to April 5, has been postponed indefinitely due to worsening Covid-19 outbreak.

The decision by Badminton Association Malaysia (BAM), the tournament organisers, did not come as a surprise after Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin directed for all gatherings including sporting events nationwide to be cancelled or postponed until April 30.
