Michael's Badminton Academy

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Welcome to the MBA Official Facebook Page! MBA is a one-stop centre for all badminton needs, from offering badminton training programmes to the latest updates on the badminton industry.

Michael’s Badminton Academy (MBA) began as a passion. The man behind it all, Michael Lee, is an avid badminton player. He soon realised that there was a shortage of badminton courts for social badminton enthusiasts. Thus, the first MBA centre was opened in February 2002 at Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya. And it opened by making a pretty huge impression, by being recognized as the biggest privately-owned badminton centre in the state.

This 16-court indoor badminton centre was officially launched by our former Prime Minister’s wife, Yang Amat Bahagia Tun Dr Siti Hasmah. As a fan of the sport herself, she’s also the patron of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM). Former Thomas Cuppers Razif Sidek, James Selvaraj and Cheah Soon Kit, all whom were also present during the official opening, were impressed by the centre’s excellent badminton facilities.

In September 2004, MBA opened its Bandar Puteri, Puchong centre which houses 32 indoor badminton courts. This second branch also opened with a bang by creating history at being endorsed by the Malaysia Book of Records as the Biggest Badminton Centre in Malaysia.

MBA has also successfully hosted international badminton events. In September 2006, the centre hosted the prestigious 13th World Chinese Badminton Championships. This showcased Malaysia as the first-ever host country outside China ever to be given such an opportunity by the World Chinese Badminton Association. The event brought 1,500 badminton enthusiasts from around the world, and also attracted many celebrities such as Sally Yeh (IBF Ambassador), and Taufik Hidayat. Datuk Danny Ooi, founder of the Malaysia Book of Records, presented to Mr. Michael, Managing Director of MBA, the honour of marking this event as Malaysia’s Largest Tournament ever.

MBA is actively expanding its services, and is now a one-stop centre for all badminton needs. Besides hosting local and international tournaments, MBA also offers badminton training programmes and camps. The centre also constantly updates its members with activities, products and all matters related to badminton. MBA’s latest service is an exchange programme where members visit other countries to enrich not only their game, but to encourage new friendships.
