Tze Yong used time wisely in the gym during Sudirman Cup


KUALA LUMPUR: Lee Zii Jia’s superior performance had forced Ng Tze Yong (pic) to warm up the bench during the Sudirman Cup in Suzhou, China, last week but it also turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the national No. 2.

The 23-year-old Tze Yong did not play a single match as Zii Jia remained unbeaten in the entire tournament where Malaysia reached the semi-finals and lost 1-3 to South Korea.
