Second-string shuttlers feeling Covid-19 heat, too


PETALING JAYA: The suspension and cancellation of Badminton World Federation (BWF) tournaments in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic are not just affecting the top Malaysian shuttlers chasing for Tokyo Olympics qualification.

Second-stringers like singles shuttler Cheam June Wei, Goh Jin Wei and S. Kisona are also feeling the heat. June Wei is certainly among those who are feeling upset at not being able to compete on the international circuit.
