RTG Provides Conducive Training Venue For Professional Players
KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 (Bernama) -- Former national mixed doubles player, Goh Liu Ying described the initiative of the Road to Gold (RTG) Committee to help professional badminton players with more conducive training facilities as an appropriate important move. Liu Ying, who has previously played professionally, said the main challenges faced by players who are not in the national squad are the lack of basic facilities and complete support services. 'I can confirm that as an independent player, the facilities used are not as good as those enjoyed by players in the national team. bootstrap slideshow 'Even before qualifying for the (Tokyo 2020) Olympic Games, we sought help from the National Sports Council and the National Sports Institute because we needed not only a private training venue, but also a complete support team,' she said. She told reporters after the launch of the Kidslympic Malaysia 2025 here, today. Liu Ying and her partner Chan Peng Soon previously created history by becoming the country's first mixed doubles to win a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Despite leaving the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) in 2018, they still managed to qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games, which was their last appearance at the world's biggest sporting event. Yesterday, Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh said the RTG Committee would help professional badminton players get more conducive training venues as most of them are currently training in public courts. At the same time, Liu Ying said that additional support services such as physiotherapy provided by RTG also help professional players maintain their performance despite having to endure a tight schedule to the point of having to play in three to four tournaments a month.

Sri Pahang's absence a big loss to Malaysian football, says legend
Bernama KUALA LUMPUR: Sri Pahang FC's decision to skip the 2025/2026 Malaysia League (M-League) season is a big loss to Malaysian football, said former Pahang coach Datuk Zainal Abidin Hassan. Zainal, who was also a legend of The Elephants squad, admitted to being affected by the development, as the team not only have a long history in Malaysian football — including winning the Super League, Malaysia Cup and FA Cup — but have also produced many national players. "This is a sad decision ... however, we must respect it (the decision not to compete). But it's a great loss. "A huge loss for the country's football, the league and Pahang. I hope the situation will recover and Pahang will return," he said after attending the WRA Academy Football Clinic at the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council Stadium here today. However, the Football Association of Malaysia executive committee member believes that talent development in Pahang will not be affected by this. "In my view, what's missing is the senior team, but the youth teams are still active. That's a positive move. "I hope these young players won't give up and will work hard to restore Pahang's image until the team returns to the top league," said Zainal, who won the Malaysia Cup with Pahang in 1983 and 1992 as a player. Yesterday, the Malaysian Football League announced in a statement that Sri Pahang, despite having obtained the 2025–2026 National Licence, had submitted a confirmation letter dated June 16, 2025, stating its decision to withdraw from the M-League. Sri Pahang finished eighth in last season's Super League with 29 points. The last title won by Sri Pahang was the 2018 FA Cup. - Bernama
