PETALING JAYA: Out of nowhere, women’s doubles player Go Pei Kee has been reported to have left the national set up.
Pei Kee was reported to have made a surprise exit from the national set up, a move seemingly reinforced by a video she posted on her social media on Wednesday (Feb 4), which chronicled her journey as a national player and ended with her packing up her personal belongings at the Academy Badminton Malaysia hostel in Bukit Kiara and bidding farewell.
However, Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have clarified that there is still no official confirmation of her resignation from the squad.
National doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky said BAM has yet to receive any formal letter from the 23 year old.
“There is nothing official yet as there has been no confirmation.I do not want to say too much because there is still no final decision.
“Officially, there is nothing yet. No letter has been submitted,” said Rexy.
Pei Kee grabbed attention this week after expressing her intention to part ways with her partner, Teoh Mei Xing, following a 19-month partnership.
The announcement caused some tension, as Mei Xing only learned about it when informed by the coaching staff.
Rexy added that BAM would meet Pei Kee personally to get a clearer picture of the matter.
“Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei will meet her (Pei Kee), because people can say anything on social media,” he added
