In this regard, Khairy said he believed that the consensus in the selection of the BAM president could indirectly help the national squad return to its best form other than the confidence in Norza"s ability to take BAM to a new level.
In the meantime, Khairy hoped BAM's affiliates would fully support the motion that Mohamed Al-Amin be appointed as BAM adviser at the parent body's annual general meeting. – Bernama
