Danish shuttler says no national federations should hold such power after BAM bans Zii Jia, Jin Wei for two years | Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 — Denmark's badminton ace Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus yesterday took the Badminton Association of Malaysia to task for banning national player and world number seven, Lee Zii Jia and Badminton World Federation World Junior Championships 2018 winner, Goh Jin Wei for two years.

“National federations can't hold this kind of power. I know many federations would never use this power to block their own players from competing, but it shouldn't even be a possibility. These players fully deserve to play badminton. There is not one good argument against it. It makes me furious and I'll make sure these players know that we are all with them,” he wrote, describing the duo as brilliant players.

Jahaberdeen, who is also the BAM Legal Advisory Committee chairman, reportedly said that a series of discussions was held with Lee after he had thrown in his resignation letter on January 11. Shuttlers have to be registered through their national associations in order to compete in any BWF-sanctioned tournaments.

“Accept it, give up your passion and find a new job. Move to a different country, live there for 12 months and then start competing again. This is only a possibility if the new country accepts to enter your name to tournaments, which could mean you would be forced to play under this new country's flag.

So obvious, it is an act of revenge!

Only in Malaysia where they can act arbitrarily. The banned players shld seek avenue in court as their livelihood is restrained by this ban which is illegal

Kerajaan Gagal

The old men of malaysia and their clingy addiction to power over others. How else can this country get shitty in every other field they'd touched?

ONLY EVEVERYTHINGS IN MALAYSIA..! Can do and see it through clearly lol

Need to use another court to fight...the justice court

As taxpayers and stakeholders who give money to BAM we should demand BAM officials to be suspended for 2 years instead and not allowed to work in any government agencies for that 2 years also. We should have a say since the money came from us anyway.

Malaysia a Disgraceful Pariah Country! It takes a Foreign Competitor to sound out BAM!
