In a video uploaded on her YouTube channel last night, 22 January, Goh addressed the announcement by BAM that for the next two years they won’t register her for any international tournaments.
Goh, who turns 22 on 30 January this year, questioned the timing of the decision given that BAM had already accepted her resignation in September last year without any objection.
“First of all, they (BAM) had already accepted my resignation in September 2021 and there has been no objection at all for so long and why only now there’s an issue?” she asked.
At the time, the former women’s singles shuttler had announced her retirement from the sport, citing medical reasons. Earlier this month, Goh signed a three-year contract with Kuala Lumpur Racquet Club.
She addressed this in her video, saying that given her health history and condition, she was unable to give her 100% commitment and stand the rigorous training under BAM.
“Everyone, including my ex-teammates, coaches, and management in the national team knew that I want to train and play at my own pace, and monitor my health condition at the same time,” Goh said.
In 2019, she underwent surgery to remove part of her colon due to a stomach ailment.
