Lee Zii Jia seeks court order for company meeting amid family management dispute

KUALA LUMPUR, October 13 — Badminton star Lee Zii Jia is requesting a High Court order to conduct an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) and impose restrictions on certain financial and management decisions at LZJ Management Sdn Bhd. The Star revealed that Zii Jia filed an originating summons on July 2, designating his father Lee Chee Hin, sister Lee Zii Yii, younger brother Lee Tao, and the company as defendants.

The lawsuit aims to prevent Chee Hin and Zii Yii, who are directors, from granting additional directors' fees, allowances, bonuses or other financial benefits beyond their monthly salaries. Zii Jia's attorney, Ahmad Zayd Ahmad Zuber of Faisal & Zayd, explained that the application seeks to maintain the current status quo between the parties.

Their supporting affidavit revealed that a prior attempt to hold an EGM on December 22, 2025, did not succeed as the family members did not attend despite receiving notice. Zii Jia attempted alternative arrangements, including seeking help from the Companies Commission of Malaysia, but his attorney did not disclose the purpose of the proposed EGM.

The injunction application is set to be heard by High Court judge Leong Wai Hong on November 25. This legal action follows Zii Jia's semi-final appearance at the Arctic Open in Finland, where he lost to Denmark's Anders Antonsen in three games.
