The badminton action begins tomorrow and hopes are on Lee Zii Jia (men’s singles), Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik (men’s doubles), Soniia Cheah (women’s singles), Lee Meng Yean-Chow Mei Kuan (women’s doubles) and Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying (mixed doubles) to strut their stuff. “I believe we have a strong chance in the men’s singles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles. If Lee Zii Jia can play like how did at the All-England, I believe that no one can stop him,” said Ewe Hock. “Everyone will start on an equal footing,” said Kien Keat, who competed at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London editions with Tan Boon Heong. Malaysia did well at the last Olympics when they won three silver medals through Lee Chong Wei (men’s singles), Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong (men’s doubles), and Peng Soon-Liu Ying.
