National men's singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong to undergo ACL surgery in Qatar after Malaysia Masters injury
The update was shared by Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) secretary-general Datuk Kenny Goh when speaking to the media yesterday.
'The National Sports Institute (NSI) is currently arranging the dates for his surgery. We should know when he will be going in two to three days,' he said.
BAM had confirmed previously that Tze Yong sustained an ACL injury following an MRI scan that revealed a tear in his right knee.
The Johor-born shuttler suffered the injury during the first round of the Malaysia Masters 2025 last month in a match against Hong Kong's Ng Ka Long, which forced him to retire mid-game. — Bernama

Terengganu FC tackles new era with privatisation, eyes corporate figure for CEO role
KUALA NERUS, July 1 — Terengganu FC (TFC) will be led by a corporate figure as chief executive officer (CEO) this season. Terengganu Football Association (PBSNT) chairman Hishamuddin Abdul Karim said the state FA has compiled a shortlist of several suitable candidates to lead the club, in line with the full privatisation plan for the club to move towards professional management. He said the final selection is underway and a closed interview would be conducted next week to select the most qualified and credible candidate to lead the club to greater heights. 'This time we will bring in a corporate figure to manage TFC. We need to fully embrace privatisation for the development of the club. 'We will announce the person as soon as possible, within this month after interviews and approval from the board of directors,' he said when met at the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Terengganu Football Sdn Bhd (TFCSB) and the Terengganu Incorporated Group (Trg Inc) here today. At the ceremony, Trg Inc, represented by Chief Executive Officer Datuk Burhanuddin Hilmi Mohamed, handed over a sponsorship worth RM1.65 million to support TFC in the upcoming 2025/26 Malaysia League season. Burhanuddin said the sponsorship in the form of money and services represents a RM150,000 increase from the previous season. 'We believe that the strength of a football team does not solely depend on performance on the field, but also requires corporate backing, professional management and comprehensive community involvement. 'This collaboration is expected to increase brand engagement of government-related company Trg Inc across all TFC platforms,' he said. — Bernama

Wiser Iskandar plans to give back in his new role with BAM
File pix of Ireland men's singles shuttler Nhat Nguyen (right) listening to his coach, Malaysian Iskandar Zulkarnain Zainuddin in the second round of the Malaysian Masters. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star PETALING JAYA: Former shuttler Iskandar Zulkarnain Zainuddin is returning to his roots - wiser and ready to give back. Iskandar will leave his current position as Ireland's coach and join Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) as the women's singles head coach on Oct 1. The 34-year-old will fill the vacancy left behind by Indonesian Jeffer Rosobin, who resigned at the end of February. Iskandar is keen to use his experience gained in Ireland to improve the fortunes of the women's singles. "It feels great to return to BAM – not as a player this time, but as a coach ready to give back," said Iskandar, who played for Malaysia from 2007-2021 before venturing into coaching. "My journey in Ireland taught me so much, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to apply those lessons here. "I see potential in the women's singles players and my focus will be on building their confidence, sharpening their tactical and physical awareness, and supporting them to break through at the international level. "I would like to thank BAM for the trust and opportunity – it means a lot to contribute to the sport I love, in the place where it all began for me." Iskandar impressed singles coaching director Kenneth Jonassen after making a name for himself in Europe. Iskandar was instrumental in the rise of men's singles player Nhat Nguyen, who is now ranked 31 in the world, and has helped elevate the profile of Irish badminton. Under his guidance, Ireland qualified two players for the Paris Olympics last August, namely Nguyen and women's singles shuttler Rachael Darragh, marking a major milestone for the country. Jonassen is confident that Iskandar can help to elevate the levels of the women's singles players. "We are pleased to welcome Iskandar back to BAM in this important role. His international coaching stint, combined with his background as a national player, brings a valuable blend of experience and perspective," said Jonassen. "Our women's singles squad is in a crucial phase of transition, and we believe Iskandar is the right person to guide the players, helping them build belief and resilience while pushing for consistent performances on the world stage." Malaysia have long struggled to produce world class women's singles players since the good old days of Woon Sze Mei, Ng Mee Fen, the Wong sisters - Mew Choo and Miew Kheng, Cheah sisters - Soniia and Lydia, Tee Jing Yi, and Ho Yen Mei to mention a few. Currently, the top two players in BAM are K. Letshanaa (No. 45) and Wong Ling Ching (No. 87).
