Chong Wei advised Zii Jia to weigh pros and cons before making BAM decision


Deal with the hard knocks: Zii Jia had pointed out to Chong Wei that he could not handle the pressure inside the BAM.

PETALING JAYA: Former international Lee Chong Wei neither encouraged Lee Jia Zii to turn professional nor told him to stick with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM).

Instead, the men’s singles legend advised 2021 All-England champion Zii Jia to think through his decision when the latter came to see him to tell him of his plan to quit the national team.
