The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei wants both the senior and junior coaches to work together to ensure a smooth transition between departments as part of efforts to strengthen the national setup. On Friday, the BA of Malaysia officially announced the appointments of new coaches Harry Hartono of Indonesia, Yeoh Kay Bin and Mohd Zakry Latif. Chong Wei wants to build a more systematic and structured player development pathway, from the junior level through to the professional ranks. "We discussed this with singles coaching director Kenneth Jonassen and he submitted a list of coaching candidates, with a focus on continuity for young players," said Chong Wei. In the women’s doubles setup, Zakry will work alongside head Coach Rosman Razak, Ching Kai Feng and Amelia Alicia Anscelly.
