Hoops, Zii Jia switches courts


Versatile: Lee Zii Jia at the basketball court in SMJK Keat Hwa. Zii Jia is world No. 14 and currently the best player in the country.

PETALING JAYA: Lee Zii Jia is a badminton player, and the men’s singles gold medallist at the recent SEA Games. But away from the limelight, he’s on another court – a basketball court.

With the national team having broken camp for a short break, the 21-year-old is pursuing his passion for basketball during the off-season to stay fit.
