KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 — Former national shuttler K Yogendran has been appointed into the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) men’s singles coaching setup.

In a statement today, BAM announced that the 39-year-old had been tasked to strengthen the men’s singles department headed by Hendrawan and assisted by Datuk Tey Seu Bock.
