According the BAM’s development committee chairman, David Wee, even though both players have chosen to remain with Sports Affairs under Rashid Sidek, the doors are always open for them to join BAM. "We have also invited Letshanaa to join BAM, though she also made the decision to remain with her coach K. Yogendran. David admits that BAM and the private academies have a similar agenda which is to send players for every tournament or championship in the hope of making the country proud. "If they do not want to join BAM we can plan from the sports science angle. BAM always provides opportunities for talented players from private clubs and academies and does not practice favouritism.
