BAM rehire Tat Meng as women’s singles coach

KUALA LUMPUR: The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have re-hired Wong Tat Meng (pic) as the women’s singles coach and expect more new faces to join him as they unveiled their new coaching and training structure yesterday.
Tat Meng will replace Chi Shanrong of China, who had failed to leave a lasting impression in the women’s singles department since he took over more than a year ago.
Except for Tee Jing Yi, others under his care did not make any breakthroughs.
Yesterday, BAM’s exco headed by Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh, announced Tat Meng’s return.
He said that he would leave the selection and appointment of other coaches to their new project manager.
Shanrong, who had been on leave for the past two weeks, will return to Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS).
Tat Meng had played different roles with the national team over his eight-year stint before joining Li Mao in Indonesia in February last year.
Under Tat Meng’s short stint as the national women’s singles coach for a year, Wong Mew Choo did the country proud by winning the China Open in 2007 when she defeated all the top players from China.
Tat Meng, however, was sent to BJSS in 2008 for two years before he returned as a women’s singles coach in September 2010. Five months later, he signed up for the lucrative job in Indonesia.
His experience in Indonesia will surely help as the BAM are hoping for Tat Meng to stay longer in his job and produce more Mew Choos.

Took over more than a year ago.. means our ws is under her all this time.. i thought there's another new ws coach .. from malaysia of course.

The executive director of the Malaysian Employers Federation, Shamsuddin Barden, was quoted in today's news expressing great disappointment about the high percentage of Malaysian graduates with unacceptable standard of English. Most of such graduates had passed their SPM English but would not be considered employable.
This is quite shocking and confirms what my best Malay friend, who is a director and major shareholder of a Bumiputra company, has told me time and time again. He even told me that an office messenger of a large company in the 1970s would put these new graduates to shame.
To a large extent, we can see some proof here! Do you agree?

If Tat Meng delivered the goods with WMC, why did they send him back to BJSS?

I see...so that was when WMC started to train with the male players right? But was it Mew Choo's decision?

Curious but Tat Meng could save MAS WS pride...

Yes, WMC requested to switch coach to Misbun. WMC official reason was she wanted to up her game even higher as her fitness not up to standard needed. She wanted to post greater challenge for 2008 OG. Later(I think the next year) BAM asked WTM to go to BJSS because the chief coach for BJSS left to go back China(forgot his name). That BJSS coach had been in Msia more than 10 years.
Plus, by then Wong Choong Hann had decided to retire from BAM to go independent after 2008 OG.

While at BJSS, WTM brought up the standard of the junior MS - Loh WS, Iskandar's batch.
