Hendrawan leaves BAM with plenty of good memories

Those were the days: Legendary Lee Chong Wei chatting with Hendrawan during his time with BAM.

PETALING JAYA: Hendrawan believes the time is right for him to move on after coaching the men’s singles in the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) for 15 years.

The BAM have decided not to renew the long-serving Indonesian’s contract, which ends at the end of this year and Hendrawan will officially leave the national body at the end of this month. The 52-year-old, who guided Datuk Lee Chong Wei, Lee Zii Jia and Ng Tze Yong among others, will leave behind countless memories during his time in the BAM and also in Malaysia which has become like a second home to him.
