Kian Meng says ABM visit not linked to BAM coaching search
Former national shuttler Tan Kian Meng has clarified that his recent visit to the Academy Badminton Malaysia was not related to the Badminton Association of Malaysia's search for a new head coach. Kian Meng, who currently coaches the England squad, remains under contract until 2028.
Why it matters
The clarification addresses public speculation regarding coaching leadership in a high-profile national sports organization.
PETALING JAYA: Former national mixed doubles shuttler Tan Kian Meng has dismissed speculation linking him with the Badminton Association of Malaysia's (BAM) search for a new mixed doubles head coach despite being spotted at the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) in Bukit Kiara on Tuesday (Aug 4).
However, Kian Meng said his visit had nothing to do with BAM's coaching search, explaining that he was accompanying the England squad, who are preparing for several tournaments in Southeast Asia before the World Championships in New Delhi from Aug 17-23.
