YOUNGSTER Siti Nurshuhaini Azman (pic) stood tall to save the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) the blushes by capturing the women’s singles gold in the Malaysia Games (Sukma).

The 18-year-old Nurshuhaini gave her best display when she staved off the challenge of independent player K. Letshanaa to win 21-19, 21-9 in an all-Selangor clash at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
