Professional shuttler Lee Zii Jia has officially joined the national training camp for the upcoming Thomas Cup in Denmark. Despite a lower world ranking, Lee is being positioned as a crucial "dark horse" leader for the squad. The coaching staff is banking on his big match experience to guide younger players like Leong Jun Hao through the high pressure tournament environment.

In the para sports sector, Cheah Liek Hou has been rewarded with a RM20,000 cash incentive for securing his 9th World Title. The government and the National Sports Council praised his consistency and dedication, citing him as an inspiration for all Malaysian athletes. This recognition highlights the country's commitment to supporting both able bodied and para athletes who bring glory to the nation on the world stage.

The women’s Uber Cup team is also intensifying its training, with coach Iskandar Zulkarnain pushing players like K. Letshanaa to hit peak form. The goal is to break into the knockout stages, a feat that has eluded the women’s team in recent years. With a mix of youthful energy and tactical improvements, the squad is hopeful of causing several upsets against higher ranked opponents in the group stages.
