No special rescue mission for Zii Jia, says BAM
KUALA LUMPUR: It is up to under-performing Lee Zii Jia to decide whether he wants to resume training with the national players at the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) in Bukit Kiara, with the BA of Malaysia (BAM) making it clear there are no plans for a special meeting with the independent shuttler.
KUALA LUMPUR: BAM President Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz has stated that there are no plans for a special rescue mission for Lee Zii Jia, who has been inactive in training sessions at the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) since June. BAM Performance Committee Chairman Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei has been encouraging Zii Jia to resume training, but the world No. 58 has yet to provide any feedback to the association regarding his plans.
Tengku Zafrul emphasized that BAM's focus is on current singles players, juniors, and the pipeline, and they do not plan to meet Zii Jia to discuss training arrangements. The council had already decided to open ABM's training sessions to all professional players, without requiring them to rejoin BAM.
