A title in the Maybank Malaysia Open 2013 last weekend ended Indonesia’s success drought and the Indonesia Badminton Association is aiming to satiate its hunger for more titles by offering a bonus to the best shuttler.
Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan won the Malaysia Open men’s doubles title after defeating Ko Sung-hyun and Lee Yong-dae of South Korea, 21-15, 21-13, giving Indonesia its only title in the event.
With the ambition of reclaiming the country’s golden era, the Indonesia Badminton Association (PBSI) has been trying to find ways to boost shuttlers’ performances, including revising the salary schemes for athletes and coaches.
But the PBSI is now pushing even further by offering Rp 1 billion ($104,000) in purse money to the shuttler with the best achievement at the end of each year, PBSI chairman Gita Wirjawan said.
