'Big brother' Chong Wei calls Zii Jia selfish and problematic


PETALING JAYA: Former great Datuk Lee Chong Wei has hit out at independent shuttler Lee Zii Jia and his coach Wong Tat Meng for accusing the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) of bullying professional players.

Chong Wei branded Zii Jia as selfish and problematic after the latter and Tat Meng expressed their frustrations with BAM for the new rule preventing independent players from training at Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM) if they did not wear apparel from the same sponsor as the national team.
