HANGZHOU – Two minutes were all it took for Malaysia’s top badminton player Lee Zii Jia to court controversy at these Asian Games.
Sin Chew Daily reported that while Lee was initially cooperative, the interview was abruptly halted by a volunteer, apparently at the instruction of his agent, who is also his older sister. They also apologised for the defeat and added they always respect the nation’s media as a key entity that has helped shape the former All England Open and Asian champion as a person and athlete.
In May, Zii Jia’s hiring of compatriot and Hong Kong national men’s singles coach Wong Tat Meng upset Hong Kong player Angus Ng, who was unhappy that the move happened so close to the Asian Games.
