National association to meet Nusa Mahsuri to explain Roslin’s omission |
|
The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) will meet club side Nusa Mahsuri to resolve shuttler Mohd Roslin Hashim’s discontentment over his omission from the Singapore and Indonesian Opens.
Yesterday, the BAM general manager Kenny Goh said that it would be difficult for them to get the organisers to include Roslin for both the Singapore and Indonesian Opens as the deadline for entries had ended. Kenny said the BAM would talk to Nusa Mahsuri to explain what had gone wrong. “We want to resolve the matter amicably. The entries for the Super Series are limited. The deadline is over and it will be tough for us to get him in. “We will meet the club to explain that it was a genuine mistake. There was no sabotage, simply a human error on our part.” Kenny, however, assured that the BAM had taken several measures to ensure no repetition of the mistake. “For a start, we have appealed to all the clubs to send one letter of entry for each particular player and tournament in the future,” said Kenny. “In Roslin’s case, the club had sent one letter on his entries for three tournaments - the Asian Badminton Championships, Singapore and Indonesian Opens. My staff saw only the entry for the ABC. “It was a human error. We have not made it a rule but we hope to get the co-operation from all the clubs in submitting only one letter per entry. “We will also form a committee to go through the entries of all the players before it is submitted to the BWF (Badminton World Federation). This committee, however, will not have decision-making power but they will ensure that qualified and deserving players are not left out of any tournaments.” On whether any form of compensation would be given to Roslin following the error, Kenny said: “There is no issue of compensation here. We can only give an assurance that this will not happen in future.” Copyright © 2007 Star Online |
