A blow as women's singles coach Jeffer leaves BAM


PETALING JAYA: Women's singles coach Jeffer Rosobin has parted ways with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM).

Jeffer, who was initially appointed junior head coach at the end of 2023 and promoted to his most recent position last year, said he decided to leave the national body to spend more time with his family in Jakarta.

The Indonesian's contract was supposed to be until November.

"I have decided to leave BAM to spend more time with my wife and three children in Jakarta," he said on Friday (Feb 28).

"Initially, I wanted to leave after the World Junior Championships in October last year but decided to stay on and take up the challenge of coaching the women's singles players.

"But I feel the time is right for me to move on.

"Yesterday (Thursday, Feb 27) was my last day here.

"I want to thank BAM and coach Rexy (Mainaky) for giving me this opportunity. God willing, I could come back here if the chance comes again in the future."

Under Jeffer, Aaron Tai-Kang Khai Xing memorably won gold in the boys' doubles in the World Junior meet in October while Dania Sofea-Low Zi Yu captured silver in the girls' doubles.

Other coaches who have left BAM recently are Tan Bin Shen and Poh Chai Boon (men's doubles).
