Lee Zii Jia. That interview was so painful to watch but it’s an important reminder of athletes and their humanity. For far too long, people have hid under the veil of ‘criticism’ to abuse him, vilify him, question his patriotism/desire, mock his attitude. And this is all done.

Lee Zii Jia is not an extension of Lee Chong Wei. He’s not a compensation in our two decade-long quest for an Olympic gold with Chong Wei. Zii Jia is a man of his own. And his journey deserves the same respect we afforded LCW, right at the dawn of his.
There’s a collective sense of fatigue after that game, and it’s fatigue carried from the LCW era. We must be careful in not letting this fatigue dominate LZJ’s journey. He’s not responsible for our past. This is now his journey. For us, a new journey too.
