Men’s badminton singles player Lee Zii Jia beat India’s Lakshya Sen yesterday night to clinch his first ever Olympic medal and Malaysia’s second bronze at Paris 2024. He lost the first set 13-21 before bouncing back to take the second set 21-16, forcing the game to rubber. Alor Setar-born Lee was then dominant in the decider, winning 21-11 to put himself, and the Jalur Gemilang, on the podium.
Like doubles pair Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, who won Malaysia’s first medal at Paris 2024 the night before, Lee will also drive home a brand new Chery Tiggo 7 Pro worth RM123,800 for his efforts, which included some physics-defying left-right diving returns.
“Standing together to cherish the triumph of our nation’s finest athletes! An enthusiastic recognition for Lee Zii Jia, whose unstoppable drive and precision on the prestigious stage have put Malaysia in the fast lane to victory! At Chery, we’re revved up with pride, honouring our Malaysian tiger’s remarkable journey and the extraordinary impact he’s made. Congratulations, Lee Zii Jia!” the carmaker posted on Facebook.
Silver will net our national athletes an Omoda E5 electric SUV and our nation’s first Olympic gold medalist will drive home a Tiggo 8 Pro – could this be ‘Pocket Rocketman’ Datuk Azizulhasni Awang? The extra motivation of free cars was announced by Chery in June.
“We know they have put in the hard work and long hours of training for the games. We have high hopes that this year, Malaysia will achieve the coveted gold medal that the nation has been eyeing. To the Malaysian contingent, know that Chery Malaysia will be cheering you on every step of the way,” president of Chery Auto Malaysia Leo Chen said at the June event.
“We are indeed very happy with the pledge by Chery Malaysia to reward Malaysia athletes who will do well in the upcoming Olympics in Paris. We hope this will spur the athletes to give their best and make the country proud,” said National Sports Council director-general, Abdul Rashid Yaakub.
Two nights in a row – how’s your heart doing, Malaysians?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Haha “hadiah” yg berisiko tinggi, nak sabotage ke?
i look at this comment – apa lapsap…
You’ve got that part right…nape nak hadiahkan sampah haha
well deserved! Imagine the rewards if he actually brought home the gold! surely a Datukship in addition to many others. for one of the previous Olympics, there was even 2kg gold offered as a reward.
If he really want to keep the car, dismantle the eSIM, if any. You wouldn’t want people listening to your conversation.
Stupidest comment I have ever heard. Only kicap hitam poop brain people actually believe anyone is interested and bothered listening to their conversation. Hahahaha. Trust me no one wants to learn or hear what you say. Look at Bharat. Its a failure country. People will bankrupt if they learn from or listen to people like you bruh. Lol
Congrats
Hope the wheel stays on
It will definitely. Not like mazda, where Mazda parts and axle parts can easily break
medal tu memang ada gambar chery tiggo tu ke? penat-penat main badminton dapat kereta cina je. proton kenapa tak sponsor? oh wait…
Kah kah kah.. 2 x 5, 5 x 2
Where is Perodua then? Always thumping chest about how Malaysian the company is, yet senyap je when showing support to Malaysian athletes.
Mana proton? Dah jadi kedekut siao ar… sponsor tarak. Apa la so-called national car…perrrfhhh.

He doesn’t need it, he’ll just sell it la c’mon who wants to be seen in a CHERY of all cars at his level of social position.
Are you jealous. He will know what he likes as he want to try something which is different unlike those mazda fanboys as still obsessing mazda is premium brand but reality is not, especially caught by cheating scandals for mazda
