Misbun delays meeting with BAM president
Latest News 9:46 AM
THE man in the spotlight – national coach Misbun Sidek – has
chosen to delay the meeting with Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM)
president Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh.
And due to this, the BAM’s council, who will meet today, is unlikely to make any major decision.
However, according to one of the council members yesterday, they are determined to get Nadzmi to make a stand over the whole matter surrounding Misbun.
Yesterday, Nadzmi said that Misbun had sent a text message to him, saying that he would prefer to meet after the Malaysia Open, which will end today at Putra Stadium.
“He wants to stay focused on the Malaysia Open and I respect that. I will meet him after that,” said Nadzmi.
Misbun pulled a shocker when he tendered his resignation on Dec 31. However, he has been asked to re-consider his decision by the BAM exco.
Misbun has not made up his mind on his status but he has showed up to support and coach world number one Lee Chong Wei since the second day of the home competition here in Bukit Jalil.
There were high hopes that Misbun would meet Nadzmi before today’s council meeting so that the 30-member council members could be briefed on whether Misbun wished to retract his resignation letter and if he did, what are the conditions he wanted for his return.
Nadzmi said that his main objective today is to brief the council on Misbun’s decision to resign. “I want the council members to know want had happened. It is important to engage them and this is precisely why the meeting is taking place,” he said.
When asked whether any decision would be made today, Nadzmi said: “We will deliberate and discuss on Misbun’s resignation matter. But I promise that there will be an amicable decision on this matter.”
