PETALING JAYA: The upcoming Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) presidential election on Saturday is expected to be a calm affair with no contest, following Datuk Seri Khairuddin Samad’s confirmation that he will not be vying for the top post.

Khairuddin, who is also the president of the Putrajaya Badminton Association, had previously expressed interest in running for the presidency but has since decided against it.
