Badminton: BAM’s Commitment to Win a Title in 2025
The commitment of the national badminton players under the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) is extremely positive, and if this attitude continues until the 2025 Malaysia Open, it will certainly open up a great opportunity for Malaysia to win a title after a long time. This confidence was voiced by Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) coaching director, Rexy Mainaky.
Confidence Boosted by Local Players’ Rise
Rexy believes that the rise of local professional players such as Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani in the men’s doubles sector should provide more motivation to the two national men’s pairs, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Yap Roy King-Wan Muhammad Arif Wan Junaidi. This could lead to a strong performance in the 2025 Malaysia Open.
Ambitious Targets for National Players
Rexy also expressed his hopes for the national mixed doubles pair, Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei, who showed confidence at the BWF World Tour Finals, and Leong Jun Hao, who previously reached the final of the 2024 Japan Masters. He also hopes that national women’s doubles, Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah, will give their best in the upcoming tournament.
Identifying Strengths and Areas for Improvement
Rexy emphasized the need for players to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. "I met with coaches, and there is information from coaches of Roy King (men’s doubles and mixed doubles) who is playing in the two events," he said. "Yes, I see Roy King and we also see Hoo Pang Ron as the players with experience. We see him giving an influence to Cheng Su Yin to see herself emerged as a player of her own," he added.
2025 Malaysia Open
The 2025 Malaysia Open will take place from January 7 to 12 at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil.
Conclusion
The BAM’s commitment to win a title in 2025 is a promising sign for the future of Malaysian badminton. With the rise of local professional players and ambitious targets set for national players, Malaysia may finally win a title after a long time.
