KUALA LUMPUR: Former international Lee Wan Wah believes that Malaysian coaches are increasingly making their mark in the badminton world.

The 47-year-old former doubles ace, currently a member of the coaching staff for the Japanese national team, expressed no surprise at the increasing demand for Malaysian coaches.

It seems that Malaysia's badminton expertise has been in high demand in recent years, with the latest focus being Wong Choong Hann and Hafiz Hashim.

Following his resignation as singles coaching director of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) last month, Choong Hann wasted no time in getting hired as men's singles coach by the Hong Kong BA and reunited with fellow Thomas Cupper Choong Tan Fook, who has been there since 2010.
