Chong Wei bowled over by detailed five-year BAM development plan

PETALING JAYA: It was never easy trying to lure Datuk Lee Chong Wei back into the fold of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM). For years since his 2019 retirement, the nation's greatest shuttler kept a respectful distance, politely turning down repeated offers to rejoin the body, preferring instead to contribute on his own terms. But on Saturday, BAM president Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz finally achieved what no one else could. So what made him have a change of heart? It was the detailed blueprint called 'Tangkis 2030' that was unveiled by Tengku Zafrul during the council meeting on Saturday. The five-year plan covers BAM's ambitions, covering not just the elite squad but the entire badminton ecosystem. And it convinced him to return as an independent council member. 'To be honest, I was surprised at how detailed and long-term his plan is,' said Chong Wei when contacted. 'This is the first time I've seen a BAM president with such a roadmap. In less than 100 days, he's presented a clear vision, and I can see he is sincere about lifting Malaysian badminton. ALSO READ: Boon Heong: BAM must give Chong Wei more power "Even while still serving as Miti (Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry) Minister until the end of the year, he has worked hard to put this plan together and engaged with all stakeholders to ensure his vision can be carried out 'That is why I've agreed to use my knowledge and experience to help him and Malaysian badminton,' said the 41-year-old legend. 'In the past, many people had asked me to come back to BAM, but I feel that the plan drawn up by Tengku Zafrul is one that covers many aspects," said Chong Wei. 'Tangkis 2030' is built around five key missions: reclaiming the Thomas Cup by 2026, winning Olympic gold at Los Angeles 2028, producing world No. 1s in at least three events, ensuring a sustainable pipeline of champions, and driving badminton as a pillar of a healthier Malaysia. A flagship programme, 'Road to Thomas Cup', targets ending Malaysia's 34-year drought in Horsens, Denmark, next year. To strengthen BAM's foundations, Zafrul has also roped in three other heavyweights: former NTV7 and Celcom CEO Datuk Seri Shazalli Ramly (branding and marketing), Tan Sri Gooi Hoe Soon (finance), and Datuk Sunil Abraham (legal).

‘No 2026 Grand Slam Track till athletes paid'

Published on: Sunday, August 17, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 17, 2025 By: AFP Text Size: The troubled event are struggling to compensate athletes from the three meetings that took place in 2025 in Kingston, Jamaica, Miami and Philadelphia. PARIS: The financially troubled Grand Slam Track circuit will not take place in 2026 until athletes awaiting prize money for this year are paid, its founder Michael Johnson said on Friday. Johnson admitted in a statement 'we are struggling with our ability to compensate' athletes from the three meetings that took place in 2025 in Kingston, Jamaica, Miami and Philadelphia. The four-time Olympic sprint gold medallist said he had taken the decision to cancel the fourth and final meeting in Los Angeles 'to avoid further losses and start the lengthy process of stabilising the company to get back on track. 'But unfortunately, we saw circumstances change in ways beyond our control,' he said. He added: 'The 2026 season will not happen until those obligations are met—and that is my #1 priority.' Johnson said he had held talks with new investors and he remained 'confident' about the future of Grand Slam. 'We're not done yet. Not even close,' he said. Johnson launched Grand Slam as an alternative to the Diamond League series of international meetings with an important difference—it would only feature track events and no field events. He promised a more concentrated format with more head-to-head races between the world's best athletes. However, while the series was able to recruit stars such as US Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas and 400m hurdles world record holder and double Olympic gold medallist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, it failed to recruit a host of top sprinting talent including the reigning men's and women's 100m champions Noah Lyles and Julien Alfred. The series offered athletes prize money of up to $100,000 for their overall standings after participating in two races at each meet. Athletes were pictured holding up giant cheques showing how much money they had won. However, while the competitors expressed enthusiasm for the series, there were clear signs it had failed to capture the imagination of fans. There were Swathes of empty seats at the opening meeting in Kingston, while for the third meeting in Philadelphia, the programme was cut from three days to two. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Lee Chong Wei joins BAM council to boost Malaysian badminton

MALAYSIAN badminton legend Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei has been named as one of the new Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) council members. This marks his return to the sport as BAM aims to strengthen Malaysia's position as a global badminton powerhouse. BAM president Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz confirmed the appointment during a council meeting today. Three other prominent figures were also appointed to the council, including branding expert Datuk Seri Shazalli and investment specialist Tan Sri Gooi Hoe Soon. Tengku Zafrul stated, 'They have agreed. They are independent. I can appoint five but we appoint four first with the consultation with the council members.' He added that Chong Wei's role may later shift to the performance committee based on his expertise. The new council members were introduced during Tengku Zafrul's first meeting at Akademi Badminton Malaysia. BAM also received a Perodua Aruz multipurpose vehicle as part of its ongoing support initiatives. Committees under the new structure are expected to be finalised by October, though some changes may take effect earlier. Tengku Zafrul emphasised the need for a streamlined committee system to improve efficiency. He said, 'I want to be more inclusive in my decision. I don't want to tell the council member, this is my view and do it.' BAM's immediate goals include winning the 2026 Thomas Cup and securing Olympic gold in 2028. Long-term plans focus on developing sustainable talent pipelines and promoting national health through badminton. Tengku Zafrul also announced increased financial support for athletes, doubling daily allowances to RM70–75. Junior athletes will see their monthly support rise from RM300 to RM1000 under the new programme. - Bernama
