it won't. there's no financial penalty to bwf if players boycott. major sponsors like hsbc would have to threaten a non-renewal of the next cycle, but i don't think it's a high priority for them as to how the system is run. the players would have to convince corporate sponsors to side with them and pressure bwf for change.It can if 10-20 top players show their solidarity and boycott some S1000 events.
no matter what happened bam holds lzj's career in their hands forever. that issue alone is unjust thanks to bwf.We don't know the official details or the rationale of both sides. It may turn out that things look very different.
He can also play for tournaments but not in BWF ( world Championships, Thomas cup, Sudirman cup etc) Tournaments.More news articles below :

SGP perhaps.
Well, his shocking resignation triggered by immense pressure that he unabled to fulfill BAM high target in unstoppable tournaments that happened in last quarter of 2021.
From BAM stand point they have to protect their badminton program. This is not the first time they have done this. A lot of money and effort have been invested to developing talent and all the support was given to LZJ. If BAM do not ban him from tournaments , the juniors will follow suit once they made headway.
Then there is no point for BAM to invest money in Bukit Jalil Badminton Academy where these talents come out from. Its sad for LZJ but its his won fault. His inability to shoulder the pressure and do what is necessary is the cause of such a decision to resign.
All superseries (WT) participants must be approved by respective countries ruling body. Lzj cannot play WT, i am not sure about grade 3 events, but he would need to participate a lot of them, which offer little money in o stay in ranking. Not only that, the points offered are very low, he essentially need to get into finals for all grade 2 events to be among top 20 in the worldHe can also play for tournaments but not in BWF ( world Championships, Thomas cup, Sudirman cup etc) Tournaments.
After 10 years BAM ceases to exist.
The media have reported BAM's decision. BAM will not register LZJ for International tournaments for 2 years starting 18 Jan 2022.
Goh Jin Wei got the same ban.

Among us Msians, many are saying "Spore(or any other country) says welcome". It's basically driving the player/s out.
Then when the player win WC or OG medal, claim he's Msian like Loh Kean Yew.
hmm. You have a point but players have left in the past and BAM still continues.
