KUCHING: Malaysia failed to lift their first world badminton title even when the team were led by former world No. 1 men’s singles shuttler Lee Chong Wei. Now, can they win without him?

This will be answered when Malaysia, led by seniors Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying, begin their challenge in the World Championships starting today in Basel, Switzerland.
