Penyertaan beregu No. 11 dunia itu disahkan Persekutuan Badminton Dunia (BWF) bagi menggantikan pasangan Indonesia, Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan yang menarik diri.

Indonesia membatalkan penyertaan pemain-pemain kebangsaannya pada kejohanan bernilai AS$500,000 (RM1.7 juta) itu untuk memberi tumpuan kepada Sukan SEA di Laos, 9-18 Disember.

Bagaimanapun, pemain yang tidak berada di bawah naungan Persatuan Bulu Tangkis Seluruh Indonesia (PBSI) iaitu juara Olimpik 2004, Taufik Hidayat dan beregu Alvent Yulianto akan beraksi.

China, yang turut memilih untuk merehatkan pemain-pemain utamanya bagaimanapun tetap menghantar pemain No. 8 dunia, Bao Chunlai, Lu Lan (perseorangan wanita) dan Guo Zhendong-Xu Chen dalam beregu lelaki.

Ketiadaan pemain-pemain utama China dan Indonesia turut membawa khabar baik buat pemain muda Denmark, Jan Jorgensen apabila mendapat tiket untuk beraksi bersama rakan senegara, Peter Hoeg Gade.

Malaysia mendominasi kedudukan pilihan dalam tiga acara, di mana Datuk Lee Chong Wei turun sebagai pilihan utama perseorangan lelaki, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong (beregu lelaki) dan Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui beregu wanita.

"Walaupun agak mengecewakan melihat beberapa pemain terbaik dunia tidak beraksi, namun kami tetap gembira kerana kejohanan ini tetap menghadirkan cabaran yang sangat kuat,'' kata Ketua Pegawai Operasi BWF, Thomas Lund.

Pasukan negara membawa pulang tiga kejuaraan pada edisi sulung kejohanan di Kota Kinabalu tahun lalu menerusi Chong Wei, Kien Keat-Boon Heong dan Pei Tty-Eei Hui.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison.
