from a report filed by an Anonymous Player

January 16, 1997 (New Shuttlenws) - According to sources close to the Malaysian contingent at the Japan Open badminton tournament now underway in Tokyo, Morten Frost, the great Danish men's singles player and now a top-rated badminton coach, and Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (Badminton Association of Malaysia) have agreed on the broad terms of a contract for Frost to be Malaysia's national badminton coach starting in the middle of February.

The finer details of the contract are to be ironed out at face-to-face discussions later this month when Morten Frost is scheduled to be in Kuala Lumpur.

The same sources point out that, barring a last-minute change-of-heart, the contract would probably be signed during Frost's visit to Kuala Lumpur.

Frost was the guiding hand behind Denmark's succesful Olympic and world men's team championships efforts in 1996 that resulted in an Olympic men's singles gold medal for Poul-Erik Hoyer-Larsen and in a Thomas Cup silver medal for the Danish men's badminton team.
