BAM blunder almost costs Koo trip to China

http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.a...234&sec=sports

Excerpt:

PETALING JAYA: A blunder by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) almost saw Koo Kien Keat missing out on the trip to the China Masters, which begins today at Changzhou.

While his partner Tan Boon Heong and the rest of team left the country on Sunday, Kien Keat had to make a U-turn from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) after he discovered he had an expired visa.

The association scrambled to make up for their mistakes over the last two days and Kien Keat managed to leave the country last night and all are keeping their fingers crossed that he would not be too tired when he gets into action in his first round match with Boon Heong against Chai Biao-Guo Zhengdong of China.

BAM will say: It's not our fault... Koo Kien Keat should know when his visa expires.

Dude, are you sure you are in Malaysia?...BAM is run by a bunch of Datuks/Datos including the high performance whatever fellow, nobody lose the rock solid jobs, and the 2 clowns Kenny Goh and Ng Chin Chai are just waiting for Datuk LCW to score the OLY12 gold, and these 2 clowns will get a Datukship....just that that naughty LD fellow screwed the whole darn thing up in WC11.

This is ridiculous. BAM should have prepare well and check everything goes well for the player.

It's all Lin Dan's fault that BAM got the stick. If he had sent the shuttle out at 20-19, everything and whatever BAM do is right.

It's never BAM's fault. It's always the other people.

We're talking about BAM here!! Prepare well?? Check everything??? Goes well for the player???? You really expect those guys in BAM to be so capable???? I think you've got the wrong idea why they are there at BAM!!!

And NCC appointing himself as the manager for MAS team to WC11 would get a Datukship (same for Kenny Goh) and takes all credit/bonus for MAS first ever WC crown, Bata James would say his high performance whatever crap put LCW over the top to win. Instead, NCC was left speaking like an idiot in the U-Tube interview explaining LCW loss. Bad boy, LD...you just spoiled the fun that BAM would have all those who are running BAM have one thing in common...they all know nothing about running badminton but they are all Datuks, power with no brains

What stupid statements did he said?

**eRa@에라** · 09-17-2011, 07:57 AM

just checking the entry for JO... only so few from MAS... WTH!

**pBmMalaysia** · 09-17-2011, 12:39 PM

Some couldn't get their passport to JO, others forgot to renew I suppose

**nokh88** · 09-17-2011, 08:24 PM

Visa rejected for those not using Yonex racquets especially Li Ning?

***cobalt*** · 09-17-2011, 09:22 PM

BAM doing the smart thing: saving money for the CTC .

The players don't seem to get beyond the round of 16 or at most the QFs of most majors. Of course, that is excepting LCW, and KKK/TBH...

So why waste money?

**lcleing** · 09-18-2011, 11:39 AM

Another reason for not sending others...Japan is way too expensive.

For that amount of money spent, you could probably send the backups to 2 tournaments in South East Asia. Besides, those backup most likely won't get past the second round anyway seeing Japan has a strong entry, so why bother? LCW and KKK/TBH are there because of sponsor obligation I think, as those few are Yonex golden boys for brand advertisement.

The other reason being, the backup have themselves to blame. The entry list is strong for JO. So naturally, players with ranking more than 50 won't qualify regardless of whether BAM is willing to spend on air tickets or not. So how did they screw up their tounrmanets for the past 12 months? Only they can answer for themselves.
