Malaysia used to be among the top three in the world in squash but now the sport seems to have hit quick sand and is fast sinking, said an official yesterday.According to the official, Squash Raquets Association of Malaysia (SRAM) seem to have no crteditable juniors in their programs.
Yesterday, world number one Datuk Nicol Ann David lost to Madeline Perry from Ireland 11-6, 14-12, 13-15, 5-11 and 8-11 in the quater finals of the British Open.
"Their General Manager, Peter Chee (picture) has also resigned," said the official who was sad to see SRAM, an association which many envied, now joining the likes of Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) which are in a miserable state.
The reasons for Chee resignation is not known yet but it is believed to be due to some difficulties in his relationship with certain personalities in SRAM.
Perhaps they are now not a part of the Olympics Games, SRAM is letting it all slide!
ReplyDeleteWho cares about sports (squash) development when we (sram) have nicol david! She has many years to go...as she's still young.
You know, we should never take Nicol for granted. She is only human, anything can happen (touch wood!) We definitely need a backup squad in place!
