KUALA LUMPUR: The move taken by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) in banking on the elite squad at the SEA Games in Thailand from Dec 9-20 can restore the national team’s dignity after the harrowing experience at the 2023 edition in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
National badminton legend Datuk Rashid Sidek (pic) said BAM’s move in naming the likes of two world champions - Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik (men’s doubles) and Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei (mixed doubles) - would increase their chances of returning home from Thailand with the gold medal, after bringing back just two silvers and four bronzes from the previous edition.
