KUALA LUMPUR: BA of Malaysia (BAM) president Datuk Seri Norza Zakaria reiterated today that men's singles head coach Misbun Sidek will not focus on Lee Chong Wei alone, but all shuttlers in the department. In fact, Chong Wei, 35, has been given a free hand to plan his own tournaments, as BAM look to move forward by focusing more on backup and junior players. He cannot be following Chong Wei everywhere. Chong Wei has reached a level where he can plan his own tournaments and choose which coach he wants to accompany him," added Norza. On who will accompany Chong Wei to the French and Denmark Opens, Norza said: "At the moment, it's most likely Hendrawan."
