BUKIT JALIL: No charges will be imposed on professional men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia should he wish to seek treatment at the National Sport Institute (NSI). Typically, BAM players enjoy free treatment at the NSI, while professional players bear their own medical expenses as they operate independently. "We are aware that Zii Jia and his team are not under BAM, so they are a separate entity. The NSI have also opened their doors to Zii Jia for any assistance required, including the use of gym facilities to help him regain peak condition. Zii Jia, who struggled with injury issues last year, sparked concern after withdrawing from this week’s German Open.
