JAKARTA Herry Iman Pierngadi or Herry IP wants to give Malaysia the 2025 Badminton World Championships (BWF World Championships 2025) as a sweet gift for the country's Independence Anniversary right at the end of this month.
The BWF World Championship 2025 will take place on August 25-31 at the Adidas Arena, Paris, France. The tournament's top party coincided with the Independence Day of Malaysia.
Herry, who leads the men's doubles sector, also asked the Malaysian squad who left there to unite with one determination in order to get the title as a gift for the country.

The Malaysian badminton team that was about to leave for Paris was being hit by the issue of a camp between the Malaysian Badminton Association (BAM) fostered players and professional players who trained outside the association.
Herry emphasized that he did not want to see such camps in the Malaysian team in Paris at all. He said all the players who left there were representatives of Malaysia.
"I don't want to distinguish between BAM players and which are professional. They are all from Malaysia. We must support each other and give gifts to the country," he said.
The BAM-assisted players who went to Paris were Leong Jun Hao, Letshaana Karupthevan, Aaron Chia, Soh Woi Yik, Man Wei Chong, Tee Kai Wun, Arif Junaidi, Yap Roy King, Pearly Tan, Thinaah Muralitharan, Go Pei Kee, Teoh Mei Xing, Chen Tang Jie, Toh Ee Wei, Hoo Pang Ron, and Cheng Su Yin.
On the other hand, the professionals participating in the 2025 World Championships are Lee Zii Jia, Goh Jin Wei, Goh Sze Fei, Nur Izzuddin Rumsani, Goh Soon Huat, and Shevon Lai.
"We can compete for the title. Anyone who is better prepared and dares to take risks on that day will win," said Herry.
The men's doubles led by Herry is one of the mainstays to win the title. One of them is Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik who is currently ranked second in the world.
