PETALING JAYA: The National Sports Institute's (NSI) doors are always open for men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia, said Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh. 

Zii Jia made the call to end his season early due to his pesky ankle injury and nagging back pain, prioritising his recovery for next year, and Hannah said the NSI are always ready to help him if needed.
