KLRC accommodates more professional shuttlers by providing lucrative opportunities
The KLCR, a famous badminton club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is progressing well in the right direction as it is accommodating more professional shuttlers and provides with better opportunities and sponsors them to participate in the international events.
Many renowned shuttlers of Malaysia have joined KLRC after leaving the national set up that works under the supervision of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM).
Currently, Men’s Doubles national shuttlers, Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari and Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif have also got the sponsorship of KLRC after leaving the national team of Malaysia.
Both shuttlers, Mohd Tazari and Mohd Zakry have a good world ranking in the Men’s Doubles category as they are placed at number 29 and 25 respectively.
With the addition of these elite shuttlers, the strength of the professional shuttlers in KLRC has reached at 16. Among these shuttlers, there are some talented local players and some have gained glory at international level.
Andrew Kam, the owner of KLRC, expressed that the club will continue supporting those shuttlers who want to continue playing badminton after leaving the national set up as it will be second chance for the players.
He said, “We started modestly in 2005 as a small outfit ... but now we are where we are because we continue to give opportunities to players. Sometimes, a player goes through a slump and struggles for a while. All he or she needs is a second chance to get
it right.”
He further added, “Here, at KLRC, we give them that opportunity to rebound and excel. We are happy that Zakry and Fairuzizuan have joined us on their own accord. We will do our part to help them realise their dreams of qualifying for the Olympic Games.”
KLRC has established its place as a competitive badminton club in the country and has been gaining importance for the last six years. Now it has turned its focus to the junior shuttlers along with the experienced elite players.
By supporting the junior shuttlers, the club wants to give competitive environment to the young players where they will play with experienced international shuttlers and will gain higher level of skills and expertise.
