Petition to Malaysian Coach Rexy Manaiky

Dear Rexy,

We, the undersigned, are eternally grateful for you guiding and coaching our players, especially the Men's Doubles department. You have transformed them from nothings into World Numbers 1s and champions. You have guided our players into glory, and on many occasions, suffered immense heartbreak over the loss of your charges. We recognize your contributions to the many facets of Malaysian badminton.

We, the undersigned, are further aware of the fact that you are under constant stress and anxiety over the coaching of your charges. We know that being a coach is extremely hard, and even more so if one is in charge of several pairs. The responsibility is clearly immense, and we recognize your dilemma.

We, the undersigned, are also aware that you, as a coach in a foreign country, are sacrificing a lot. However, we would like to appeal to you to stay on to be the Malaysian Men's Doubles coach. Our players are currently going through an important phase of their career, especially Koo Kien Keat, Tan Boon Heong, Choong Tan Fook, and Lee Wan Wah. Without their guidance, we fear that they will fail to continue to bring glory to Malaysia. In a year where the Olympic Games and the Thomas Cup are taking place, we believe it is imperative for you to stay on. We understand that you are going through a lot, but we do hope you reconsider your position, and stay on, at least until the Olympic Games.

We, the undersigned, also hope the BAM, NSC and the Sports Ministry can hear Rexy's grouses and concerns and perhaps implement some changes that may lessen his stress and responsibility. Rexy is a great coach, and we do not wish to lose him.

Signed,
The Undersigned
