PETALING JAYA: National junior shuttler Lee Zii Jia is out to prove a point in the Maybank Malaysia International Youth Under-19 championships.

With places for the World Junior Championships – to be held in Lima, Peru, in November – still up for grabs, the 17-year-old is hoping to shine and stake his claim now that top junior shuttler Cheam June Wei has been knocked out in the first round on Tuesday.
