PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Jalani Sidek has called on the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) to accept the reality that Malaysian badminton is lagging behind other top countries.

Jalani, who attended a press conference with his brother Misbun Sidek on Monday (July 31), following the latter's dismissal as junior development director, did not pull any punches when criticising the national body over their decision to drop his elder brother for the poor performance of juniors at the Asian meet recently.
