Don’t write Lee off


Down and out: Lee Zii Jia went down to Hong Kong’s Angus Ng Ka Long.

PETALING JAYA: Defending champion Lee Zii Jia can take comfort with the kind words that came from the rival camp’s coach and former international Wong Tat Meng after a disastrous first round exit in the Asian Championships.

Tat Meng’s player Angus Ng Ka Long of Hong Kong had put a dent to Zii Jia’s resurgence after upstaging the world No. 4 with a stunning 21-19, 21-16 win on Wednesday in Dubai.
