Tengku Zafrul, who visited the Badminton Academy of Malaysia in Bukit Kiara on Friday (June 13), has instructed BAM’s management to do all they can to keep Pearly-Thinaah under their roof.
“I’ve told the management to try and get it done as soon as possible.
“It will be good to have that certainty so the players and management are not distracted by this.

“We also need to make sure that we keep players within BAM, so I’ve asked the management to please try their best and make sure that (Pearly-Thinaah) stay,” he said when met at the academy.
Pearly-Thinaah recently made it to the Indonesian Open finals but ended their run in the Super 1000 tournament as runners-up to China’s Liu Shengshu-Tan Ning.
