KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) -- Siti Nur Aminah Abdullah, a 13-year-old rising star, is making waves in the badminton world, following in the footsteps of her aunt, national women’s singles player Siti Nurshuhaini Azman, at the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship (AJBC) 2024.
Hailing from a family deeply entrenched in the sport, Siti Nur Aminah said her passion for badminton was nurtured by her grandfather Azman Amar and father Abdullah Mohamad.
"It's badminton or nothing for me, as this game is part of my family. With Siti Nurshuhaini making a name for herself, I want to follow suit," said the Form One student of SMK Bukit Sentosa 2 in Rawang in a statement today.
Siti Nur Aminah recently clinched victory in the 4th qualifying round of the AJBC 2024, winning the Under- 13 (U-13) girl’s singles and doubles categories alongside her partner Adiq Puteri Waheeda from SK Sungai Choh in Kuala Lumpur.
Other notable winners at the AJBC 2024 Kuala Lumpur qualifying rounds included Kiera Wong from SMK Bandar Puchong Jaya (B), who triumphed in the U-15 girls’ singles and doubles categories, while Derrick Leung from SM Kepong Baru secured the U-13 boys’ singles and doubles titles.
The AJBC grand finals featuring finalists from the U-13 and U-15 categories, will be held at Stadium Juara in Bukit Kiara from Nov 20-25 where each qualifying round will see 24 players advancing to the finals.
