THE nation’s top badminton star Lee Chong Wei bagged the TYT Premier Award for the fifth time during the Penang State Sports Awards 2015 ceremony.

Despite enduring a quiet year by his own lofty standards in 2015, he did enough to edge squash queen Nicol David to the top prize in the Penang sports scene.
