The new BWF president of Malaysia has been asked to revisit the ecosystem to ensure that players receive maximum support

The Minister of Youth and Sports of Malaysia, Yeo Hau Shuang, expressed the hope that the new president of the Badminton Association of Malaysia, Tengku Saifuruh, will re-examine the overall ecosystem of the BWF to ensure that the well-being of all players is properly protected.

Yeung pointed out that potential players are advised to stay under the BWF banner instead of choosing to become professional players, so that they can fully receive support from the government in terms of training and welfare through this official body. She said: "The advantage of staying in the BWF is that you have good training partners; If you become a professional player, you will lack a high-level sparring partner, which will affect their performance. "That's why I'm asking Tengku Saifrul to take a fresh look at the ecosystem and make sure the players get the best possible support. If possible, it is hoped that the players will stay in the Badminton Association so that the government's assistance can benefit them and an orderly system can be established...... All kinds of government support is provided through the feather association. ”

Yang Qiaoshuang pointed out this on the 26th local time when he attended the promotional video launch ceremony of the "Youth Drug-Free Campaign" in collaboration with the director of the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) Datuk Ruslin, in collaboration with cinemas and Malaysian athletes.

We are pleased to see the performance of Malaysia's national players improve. On the other hand, Yang Qiaoshuang was also satisfied with the improved performance of the Malaysian national badminton team at the 2025 Malaysia Badminton Masters on the 25th, "I believe that with the support of the coaching team and the assistance of the Gold Medal Program (RTG), we can continue to improve the level of competition of our players. "We have allocated funds for the National Sports Council's Talent Development Program this year to ensure a continuous pipeline of new talent."
