Fizzled out: Most of Daren’s teammates in the back-up squad failed to make the grade at the senior level.

PETALING JAYA: Mistakes are not a problem. Not learning from them is.And independent shuttler Liew Daren is hoping that the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) will give their back-up men’s singles players, currently competing in Division Two of the Invitational Championships, equal attention and opportunity.

Daren recalls his junior days with BAM when he was in the 2006 Project Squad. Helmed by Rashid Sidek, the target for the 14-member team was to win medals at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
