    The evidence must be very strong.

    Both suspect not under BAM so, Liew Darren is a good guess.

    Darren Liew played his heart out to beat Mischa Zilbermann on Court 4 in India Open coming from 14-19 down in the third AND deciding game to clinch the match 23-21 and could barely breathe due to the herculean effort put in the shift.

    I don't think that Liew Darren involved in that case since he played at Malaysia Masters and India Open. The players have been provisionally suspended, so it's not him likely.

    ZZ had withdrawn from Malaysia Masters, Indonesia Masters and India Open due to that suspension I guess.

    So then CWF?

    Actually the second person does not necessarily mean a singles player. Only the first one is confirmed singles player

    The professional shuttlers involved in match fixing allegations are also being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

    MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) Datuk Seri Azam Baki said the commission would look into all aspects of the case but added that investigations were still in the early stages.

    Betting and match fixing is actually very common amongst players, sadly there isn’t enough money in the sport for a lot of players outside the top 30 to be making a living legitimately so it isn’t too surprising that people are tempted to alter matches. I am aware of a number of people who’ve been approached or considered breaking BWF’s rules, and indeed those that have broken or suspected others of braking the rules.

    Tbh is very unlikely as BAM just stated in tonight TV3 news that they want him back to strengthen Msia TC double squad. Sadly, rumours ZZ as one of the suspects seems to be very likely but just for the sake of doubt let just wait and say he is innocent until proven otherwise unless dr strange or loki or that vulcan guy in star trek discovery makes some official statement through BAM.

    I think they are few more professional players that play for clubs but never for the national teams.

    At least 10-20 of independent players in Malaysia

    Yes many independent players but not all allowed to represent msia unless approved by BAM. The above listed are the few qualify to represent msia in BWF tournament
