Nadzmi Salleh heads BAM

JAKARTA (JP): Datuk Nadzmi Salleh was appointed on Saturday to
chair the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) which has been
left vacant since former president Abdullah Fadzil Che Wan
resigned in July following the failure to win the Thomas Cup in
Kuala Lumpur in May.

Nadzmi expressed the hope that local coaches would learn
valuable lessons from their foreign counterparts in order to be
able to hold their own in the near future.

"It is good to have foreign coaches but we need to have
understudies who can benefit from their experience," he said as
quoted by New Strait Times.

BAM is currently hiring Park Joo-bong of South Korea and will
have another foreign coach namely, Indra Gunawan from Indonesia
who will begin his tenure on Jan. 3. (yan)
