    I think he means that one of them couldn't go to Beijing because he must attend his relatives' wedding. CMIW.

    Why did they send HTH/KCK instead if Gan/Lin; TBS/TWK to replace the fuzzies as sparring partners?

    Ants did mention that they're sending the younger players for exposure. Gan/Lin are 25. Hoon = 22, Khoo = 21/22?

    i think The Fuzzy is frustrated for not being sent to play in the OG. If not because of that, they professionalism is too bad. Attending relatives wedding as an excuse not attending to as sparring partner in beijing?

    Ridiculous.....

    Ban affects my livelihood, distraught shuttler says

    About three years ago I was able to see TCS in action as a junior for the first time in Singapore. He was promising though a bit playful, thus he was given 'monkey' as his nickname though I think he was also a bit tricky with his shots as well.

    But TCS has now given up top-notch badminton as it was reported he couldn't take the tough training anymore. It coincided with Hendrawan being the new coach for the backup squad. Whether this is the real reason is left to be seen.

    TCS has regretted that after spending 7 years with BAM, he is now more or less banned from competitive badminton for prize monies for two years. In other words, he is jobless and can't even earn a living from competitive badminton. I suppose he can still coach. He is depressed, quite understandably. I hope he could find a way out of his impasse.

    Here is the report:

    Reuters India
    Sep 18, 2009

    http://in.reuters.com/article/worldOfSport/idINIndia-42547120090918

    By Ossian Shine

    SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Malaysian badminton chiefs have stripped Tan Ching Seang of his livelihood by imposing a two-year ban on him for quitting the national squad, the player has claimed.

    The 23-year-old wants to be able to compete and earn money in smaller international events at home, sanctioned by the Badminton Association of Malaysia.

    The BAM imposed a ban earlier this week, however, after Tan ended his seven-year relationship with the national squad citing family problems.

    A player cannot compete in international tournaments if they are not endorsed by their national body.

    BAM say the move is in order to protect their squads and training programmes from players defecting to other clubs.

    "The BAM have spent a lot of time, money and resources in grooming the players. It is time we review the premature exit of the players," BAM president Nadzmi Mohd Salleh told local media.

    "We are giving him (Tan) time to sort out his personal problems. The door will be open to him after two years.

    "Our reviews and actions will depend on a case-by-case basis. There can be cases when we will accept (players) decision without imposing any action on them."

    In the mid-90s, BAM fined shuttlers who left the national body to join professional club Nusa Mahsuri.

    Tan, however, said that he quit the national programme as he had tired of the rigorous training schedules but that he still wanted the chance to compete at lower-tier events.

    "BAM's decision will affect my livelihood. I have sacrificed seven years with BAM and yet, when I leave, I am not assured of a job," he told Malaysia's Star newspaper.

    "I was shocked with BAM's decision. I wanted to compete in smaller tournaments as well as the international meets held in Malaysia.

    "I want to just enjoy the game and not go through the regimented training anymore."

    If he couldn't stand tough training, then why did he choose to be an athlete from the very start? :confused::rolleyes:

    The ban affects him from playing for other countries?
    i.e. Europe, USA, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong :(.

    He got paid peanuts now got no peanuts to eat. Sadlah.

    I'm sure SBA can issue him an employment pass for a sparring job. :D
    Need high quality left handed sparring partner to simulate Super Dan.

    I think if he is dedicated enough, he will earn good money as a coach to juniors in Singapore. ;)

    BWF tournaments is more of a 'passion' than a job / earning good money for at least 95% of badminton players out there.

    You can make a better living as a 'sparring partner', coach/assistant, and professional player for Club leagues in Europe. and even in Singapore like Loh suggest ;)

    Being banned from BWF tournaments does not directly effect a persons livelihood (if you are not a top player). It will more likely save you EXPENSES.

    Just my 2.25 ringgits input..

    ..after reading the above article, i just wonder:

    - About the article part on "BAM say the move is in order to protect their squads and training programmes from players defecting to other clubs.", i just don't understand why BAM is so stringent on doing so? Like Jagdpanther mentioned, TCS is no LCW. So, would losing TCS to another club be considered a big loss to BAM?? In addition, by letting TCS decide his own future & fortune, BAM doesn't have to incur more expenses for TCS.
    - Unless BAM hasn't fulfilled their promises of sending and giving TCS enough chances to compete internationally, i'd understand TCS' complaints as legit.
    - Once accepted by BAM, what's the minimum number of yrs a player is required to stay under BAM? Anyone knows? I assume TCS had read the contract requirements/rules prior to him signing on with BAM 7 yrs ago.
    - This rule will make other prospective young/junior players think twice, if not thrice, in their aspiration of joining BAM.
    - If TCS is brave enough, come to U.S. lah. Join your other ex-compatriot, Lee Hock Lai, as one of the local coaches. Can compete in the local tourneys also lah, earn U.S. dollar...;):cool:

    BAM is simply teaching TCS a lesson and heads-up warning to others who try the same stunt in future...what if the player is not a so-so player but a top player wanting to defect to another club and end up winning major honors for the other club and embarass BAM (you know cannot lose face-lah)...as for coming to US of A, good idea can get to earn US dollar and meet some 'old-fashioned American girls"....only if you can find any of them...hahaha!!!:p:D
