PETALING JAYA: Malaysia are aggressively finding potential top talents in the men’s singles through an ongoing talent identification (TID) programme to ensure they will have quality players in the world stage, including the World Tour Finals.

Painfully, this year, Malaysia will not have any representatives in the men’s singles event in the prestigious Finals from Dec 17-21 in Hangzhou – a contrast to a time when Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei and Lee Zii Jia used to be the main players.
