Toh Ee Wei: Chen Tang Jie and I are finding our groove again
KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — National mixed doubles player Toh Ee Wei said she is finding her rhythm again with partner Chen Tang Jie after they were reunited in April. However, she said there is still a lot of work to be done before she and Tang Jie could restore their performance to its previous peak. 'At the Singapore Open, we didn't perform well. But we tried to get our focus back at the Indonesia Open, and we entered the semi-final. 'I think we are slowly regaining our form. There is more to improve and we need to keep training hard,' she said when met at a training session at Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM) here today. In March, the Badminton Association of Malaysia announced that the world number four pair would be split to allow the coach to try new combinations following tension in their partnership. However, Tang Jie and Ee Wei were reunited at the recent Sudirman Cup and helped Malaysia reach the quarter-finals. — Bernama

Lock in Pearly Tan-Thinaah before it's too late, says Tengku Zafrul as BAM contract talks stall
KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has called for a swift resolution to the contract issue involving Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah, expressing hope that the pair will remain with the national setup. He said it is important to maintain stability and focus within the national team setup, especially for players preparing for major tournaments. 'Sometimes, things like this will not be good if you want to be 100 per cent focused on what you want to do. 'Secondly, to me, we need to make sure that we keep all the players within BAM. So I have asked management to please try and make sure they stay,' he told reporters after visiting the national players at a training session at Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM) here today. Previously, the media reported that the women's doubles pair has yet to renew their BAM contracts, which expired last December. Despite the uncertainty surrounding their future with BAM, Pearly and Thinaah have continued to perform well, capturing the Thailand Open title last month and finishing runners-up in the recent Indonesia Open. Tengku Zafrul also said BAM is still working on strengthening the guidelines for players transitioning out of the national team. 'I think we need to look at this objectively because we don't want to rush into making any decision. 'But at the same time, we want to focus on, like I said, the outcome,' he said. — Bernama
