Jakarta –
Menpora Zainudin Amali assessed that BWF deliberately expelled the Indonesian badminton team at All England in 2021. He admitted that he had enough evidence.
This was relayed by a Golkar politician after receiving reports from the parties about the condition of the red and white team while in Birmingham.
“As stated, since yesterday, the government’s position regrets this incident, and is concerned, condemning even more emphatically this incident,” Amali said at a press conference with KOI on the development of All England 2021, on Friday (19 / 3/2021).
“Imagine, the team has raced and then stopped, even after exiting the arena they are told to walk, usually a bus is prepared. You can’t even take the elevator. This is a direct message from our friends. There. This is something that is discriminatory, “he said.
Amali dared to say that because she had enough evidence. In addition, referring to the series of events experienced by the Indonesian team in All England 2021, Amali considered that there were elements that were carried out on purpose.
“There were participants from three countries who even tested positive for swab. Then they were asked to take the test, within a few hours the results were negative. It seems very discriminatory. While they leave us locked up. So once again I see an element of deliberation of BWF, “he said.
“In fact, we deliberately want to get rid of Indonesia in this tournament even though there are no points in the Olympics. But if we are not firm now it will be repeated,” he said.
He also highlighted the unprofessional performance of the organizing committee. Although it is directly supervised by the BWF and All England, it is not a new tournament, but it is the oldest badminton championship in the world.
“It seems true that he runs an international tournament but he is careless. Even though he (BWF) knows that the current situation is a pandemic and the most painful treatment for us is not fair,” he said.
“This organization is directly supervised by BWF. Like us organizing the badminton championship here, both 750, 1000 (level). We are not in control of politics. Everything is under the control of BWF,” he said.
“Once again I emphasize, BWF is very unprofessional. I encourage KOI with all its networks and I encourage PBSI to reform BWF. Either change the president or whatever. The point must be settled,” he emphasized.
