KUALA LUMPUR: Australia’s Malaysian born badminton player, Renuga Veeran admits that the despicable act of match-fixing that has surfaced recently in the sport is a very unethical act. "Imagine there’s a player who has trained very hard but then such a case happens. She explained that many of her fellow team-mates and other Australian Badminton players and fans are also against match-fixing because it is just unethical. "However, perhaps they feel how tough competition is in Malaysia among Badminton players there, so such a matter is indeed a serious issue that needs to be addressed. When asked about Malaysia, Renuga admits that the team assembled by the BA of Malaysia (BAM) for the Games are very strong and formidable, especially with former World No 1 Lee Chong Wei in the national team.
