It’s now women’s doubles coach Cheah Soon Kit who felt disgruntled, after the departure of Chinese singles coach Li Mao to the Korean Badminton Association.
"Discussions and negotiations should take place when contracts come to an end. When I approached the BAM last year, I was told to wait." [...]
"I am confused. Am I working for the BAM or the NSC? None of the BAM officials approached me to explain. There are uncertainties," he said.
" [...] and we have only six months more to prepare for the World Championships."
To set the record straight, Soon Kit’s contract as well as that of the other coaches, had not been renewed since it expired on Dec 31. On the other hand, Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) continues to maintain its silence while awaiting for the National Sports Council (NSC) to issue new contracts and unveil a new salary structure, worse, coaches are being kept in the dark on the latest developments.
The bottomline: There may be more cases of coaches jumping ship if the BAM and National Sports Council (NSC) and other sport associations continue to procrastinate, something which BAM and NSC are certainly guilty of this.
