The national badminton governing body said in a statement today that it is still in the midst of conducting an evaluation of its coaches and players.

“A thorough evaluation of the coaching staff and the players is still ongoing in line with the streamlined and revamped coaching structure,” BAM said.

A local newspaper today reported that the contracts of men’s singles coach Tey Seu Bock, women’s singles head coach Indra Wijaya and mixed doubles head coach Paulus Firman won’t be renewed.

Last month, BAM secretary-general Kenny Goh announced that the annual year-end performance review, which was supposed to be completed earlier, had been postponed until this month after doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky, who only reported for duty on Dec 1, requested for time to evaluate the players and coaches.

Goh had also said that everyone – from the management to the coaches and players – needed to be held accountable. He also did not rule out the possibility of some head rolling after the review.

BAM recently found themselves the centre of attention following a dispute with the country’s top men’s singles player Lee Zii Jia.

On Friday, BAM decided not to register Zii Jia for international tournaments for two years starting Jan 18 after the All-England champion quit BAM to become an independent shuttler.
