Following the dismissal of the Confederation President, The Nippon Badminton Association has voiced its concerns and appealed the decision. According to AFP, Shigemitsu Imai, secretary general of the Nippon Badminton Association, the sport’s governing body in Japan, said the organisation opposed the dismissal. “A court in Malaysia will hold a hearing on this case on April 11,” AFP quoted Imai as saying. He added that the extraordinary general meeting was scheduled with “about 10 days” notice despite rules requiring a 60-day notice. Imai said Momii was “in the stage of putting things in order by following established procedures”.
