Hero of Malaysia
Hero of Malaysia!
Well, since u all hv seen the matches btwn DLCW and Lin Dan, what do you think about the results? Disappointed? Angry? We should hv no such feelings because he is the hero of Malysia!
Here, I’m going to tell u all about today’s main character- Datuk Lee Chong Wei’s biography.
Datuk lee is a professional badminton player from Malaysia who resides in Bukit Mertajam. He won the silver medal in the 2008 and current 2012 Olympic Games. This achievement earned him the title Datuk, and a description by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak as a national hero. As a singles player, Lee was ranked first worldwide for 199 consecutive weeks from August 21, 2008 to June 14, 2012. He is the third Malaysian men's singles shuttler after Rashid Sidek and Roslin Hashim to achieve such a ranking, and is the only Malaysian shuttler to hold the ranking for more than two weeks.
In his early years, Lee favoured basketball, however his mother soon forbade him from the game due to the searing heat of the outdoor basketball court. Lee began to learn badminton at the age of 11, when his father, who liked to play the game, brought him to the badminton hall. Attracting the attention of a local coach, the coach asked Lee's father if he could take him as a student. After receiving the nod from his father, the coach began to train Lee after school. Discovered by Misbun Sidek, he was drafted into the national squad when he was seventeen years old.
On November 3, 2006, Lee was involved in a car accident. On his way to Bukit Jalil after dinner, he was hit from behind by a vehicle which had lost control after a tire blow out. He was then sent to the Sunway Medical Centre and treated with six stitches for his head injury.
Lee received RM300,000 on August 21, 2008, as a reward for his silver medal effort in the 2008 Olympic Games. Also, he received RM3,000 a month as a lifetime pension beginning in August 2008. For the same achievement, he was conferred with a Darjah Setia
