PETALING JAYA: Former world No. 1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei’s role as a member of the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) Technical Advisory Panel is not to overshadow but to inspire the current generation of shuttlers.

Chong Wei, Malaysia’s most decorated shuttler with three Olympic silver medals (2008, 2012 and 2016), was one of seven shuttlers appointed by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) for the panel.
