KUALA LUMPUR: National men's singles coach Hendrawan is committed to working with shuttler Ng Tze Yong for next year's Paris Olympics.
Having coached Tze Yong for two years, Hendrawan said he will continue to help and prepare the World No 14 ahead of the prestigious Games.
"I have a clear mission with Tze Yong. I remain committed to my responsibility of guiding Tze Yong for the Olympics in Paris," Hendrawan said in the BA of Malaysia's (BAM) statement today (November 27).
The statement issued by the 51-year-old Indonesian coach also dismissed speculation that he will leave BAM in the near future.
Hendrawan, who was instrumental in helping former national shuttler Datuk Lee Chong Wei win a silver medal at the 2016 Olympics, is focused on the task ahead and determined to help Tze Yong.
"The ongoing qualifying process is extremely competitive and Tze Yong does not need any distractions at this stage. Together, we are determined to achieve our goals," he said.
Tze Yong won the men's singles silver medal and helped Malaysia reclaim the mixed team gold medal at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games and finished runner-up in the Arctic Open in Vantaa, Finland, last month. — Bernama
