[Saba Sports News] As the new year 2026 arrives, Malaysian badminton star Lee Zii Jia held a signing event in Kuala Lumpur, launching a limited edition racket in collaboration with VICTOR for the New Year. This racket continues his signature offensive design, featuring carbon fiber materials that enhance explosive power and a stiff shaft configuration, balancing both performance and collectible value.
At the signing event, he picked up a marker and not only signed each racket but also drew a small ‘heart’ in the corner of the frame, sometimes adding simple smiley faces. As a local star from Kuala Lumpur, Lee communicated with fans in both Malay and Chinese throughout the event, and he would bend down patiently to listen to the requests of younger fans.
Some fans brought classic photos from his past matches for signatures, and he not only signed thoughtfully but also reminisced about the matches, sharing behind-the-scenes stories with them. At the end of the signing event, he specifically went to the edge of the venue to bow and thank fans in every corner, making a heart gesture before leaving.
Lee Zii Jia is a leading figure in Malaysian badminton, having won titles at the All England Championships and the Asian Championships, earned a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, and helped the team secure third place at the Thomas Cup, frequently topping the World Badminton Federation events, demonstrating top-tier strength.
