KUALA LUMPUR: The return of China’s Zhou Kejian as the boys’ singles badminton coach at Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) has seen a sharp rise in the standard of youngsters Soong Joo Ven and Soo Teck Zhi.
Today, the duo will get the chance to show their potential when they compete in the inaugural Malaysia International Youth Under-19 tournament at Stadium Juara in Bukit Kiara.
Kejian was BJSS coach from 1992-2006 before leaving for Macau. The 62-year-old was re-hired one-and-a-half years ago to strengthen BAM’s junior programme at the school.

CHI SHANRONG has made a request to the BA of Malaysia (BAM) to re-designate him as a Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) coach following speculations he resigned as the national women's singles coach last week.
Shanrong, formerly the BJSS girls' singles coach, was promoted to the senior position by BAM 18 months ago after Wong Tat Meng's resignation.
However, the women's singles struggled to make any progress under his reign and BAM has been looking for a successor with Tat Meng expected back.
BAM general manager Kenny Goh said Shanrong only requested for a short break.
"I have not received any letter from him but he did request for a break. Shanrong has also inquired whether it is possible for him to return to BJSS," said Kenny yesterday.
"Shanrong has not resigned and his request to join BJSS will be decided during the coaching and training committee (CTC) meeting on Saturday."
Shanrong's wish to return to BJSS may not be easy to grant as there are sufficient coaches in the junior set-up and there is also a possibility that he could remain with the senior team as Tat Meng's assistant.
There could also be a few other changes as Cheah Soon Kit could return as men's doubles coach. Soon Kit is also being mentioned as a possible candidate to be made the national chief coach if BAM doesn't seek the services of South Korean Park Joo Bong.

THE draw suggests it could be a triumphant return for Lee Chong Wei in the Japan Open after a deserving break from the London Olympics but coaches are not expecting fireworks from the World No 2 during the Sept 18-23 tournament.
Chong Wei, in the absence of China's two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan, is the top seed and is tipped to meet Olympic bronze medallist Chen Long, the second seed, in the final.
The challenge also looks thin as Chong Wei will meet Wong Wing Ki of Hong Kong in the first round, Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam or China's Wang Zhengming in the second, and another of China's players Du Pengyu in the last eight.
A semi-final against either Kenichi Tago of Japan or Danish veteran Peter Gade Christensen will not pose any threat, so Chong Wei will be the favourite against Chen Long whom he destroyed in the semi-finals of the London Games last month.
