Chef de mission Chong Wei stays connected to team


PETALING JAYA: Badminton legend Datuk Lee Chong Wei has smashed his way to many firsts in his career as a player. As an administrator, he has now become the first chef de mission of the Malaysian contingent to work from home.

It’s unprecedented but the physical absence and distance will not stop Chong Wei from being hands-on in managing affairs of the athletes at the Tokyo Olympic Games starting tomorrow.
