Career
He was a singles specialist who played first for Indonesia and later for Chinese Taipei. Though Permadi had demonstrated impressive ability by 1990, he was often passed over in selection for international play at a time when Indonesia had such elite world class singles players as Ardy Wiranata, Alan Budikusuma, Joko Suprianto, Hariyanto Arbi, and Hermawan Susanto. Moving to Taiwan in the middle of the decade, Permadi played perhaps his best badminton in the late 1990s, after his thirtieth birthday.
