Rashid: Saving Tze Yong’s career more important than missing Olympics and Thomas Cup


Take it slow and steady: Ng Tze Yong may further damage his injured back by rushing into competitions, says Datuk Rashid Sidek.

PETALING JAYA: Former international Datuk Rashid Sidek believes the decision to withdraw men’s singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong from the Asian Championships could have just saved his career.

Never mind that Tze Yong has to forget about qualifying for the Paris Olympic Games by missing the tournament from April 9-14 in Ningbo, China, Rashid is more concerned about the 23-year-old’s life after badminton.
