And all the 23-year-old wants is some space to think through his next step before making a big leap in his future to keep alive his hopes of playing badminton.“I know there are many who are supporting me and I’m grateful but I need some time to clear my mind.“I hope you do understand... and when I’m ready, I will surely let everyone know of my next move,” said the world No. 7.
Zii Jia’s dream to play in his second Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 took a nosedive when the Badminton Association of Malaysia served him with a harsh punishment – by barring him from competing in international tournaments for two years. And all because of his decision to quit the national set-up to start afresh as a professional player.
There are calls for both sides to reconsider their decisions and put the interests of the nation first but it’s likely that Zii Jia will continue with his pursuit for success as an independent player. He already has a global sponsor waiting to take him under their wings.He can move his training base out of Malaysia and stay there for at least a year.
And if he wants a quick solution, the Kedahan may take the association to court to dispute their decision.
Pemain ni berbakat besar...buat apa nak bunuh bakat die...beri peluang...satu masa dia akan bersara gak mcm c.wei
Good luck.
