PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttlers Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei have received a timely boost ahead of the Malaysian Open after signing on as brand ambassadors for Allianz Malaysia Berhad.
Tang Jie-Ee Wei were rewarded after capturing the world title last August in Paris.
The duo have become ambassadors for Allianz Malaysia starting Jan 1 and will be actively involved in various campaigns, particularly the Allianz CEO (Career of Excellence & Opportunity) Programme.
A delighted Ee Wei said that the sponsorship serves as motivation for her and Tang Jie to continue their fine form.
“Tang Jie and I are absolutely thrilled to be working with Allianz Malaysia especially because of their strong support for Malaysian badminton,” said Ee Wei.
“We wish to thank Allianz Malaysia for trusting us to carry the Allianz CEO Programme logo on our jerseys.
“Above all, being given this opportunity by a global organisation raises our confidence and will encourage to constantly strive for excellence.”
Allianz Malaysia Berhad chief executive officer Sean Wang said: “We are pleased to have the reigning world champions as our brand ambassadors.
“We signed them up as it’s our shared belief that world-class success is built on discipline, tenacity and motivation.
“It is not just about talent but about consistency, resilience, and the courage to move forward, values that mirror the mindset of an Allianz Life Changer.”
With the new deal under their belts, Tang Jie-Ee Wei are fired up to hit the ground running in 2026, starting with the home Open which kicks off on Tuesday at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil.
The world No. 4 pair will open their campaign against Indonesia’s world No. 10 Jafar Hidayatullah-Felisha Pasaribu.
