THE withdrawal of the nation’s world No.5 singles badminton player from the Commonwealth Games 2022 has drawn a lot of comments from badminton fans in the country.
Lee Zii Jia feels the World Championship is more important to him and his career and we have to respect his decision to skip the Commonwealth Games. However, one must not forget one’s humble beginnings and how one gets to where one is today! My salute to Datuk Lee Chong Wei, who has displayed unwavering patriotism to the nation when, for all the years as the world No.1, he played his heart out for the country.
