Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh shared the news, adding that the shuttlers will be receiving extensive support for the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
“These four shuttlers will now receive extensive performance-related support as they aim to not only qualify for the 2028 Olympics, but also create history for Malaysia in Los Angeles.
