Training at ABM: Only Zii Jia So far, others not there yet

KUALA LUMPUR – It seems like the country’s top men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia (picture) is the only professional player who is undergoing training at Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM), Bukit Kiara, at least for now.

Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) high performance director Dr Tim Jones said a number of singles players could not make it to train at ABM as it clashes with their own agenda at the moment.

“A number of singles players have opted for playing more tournaments at the beginning of 2023 so it does not fit in with their plans,” he told Bernama when contacted.
