KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 -- National badminton legend Datuk Lee Chong Wei with a wax figure in his likeness designed by Madame Tussauds Hong Kong during the launch ceremony of the wax figure in the capital today. BERNAMAPIX: A wax figure of national badminton legend Datuk Lee Chong will be exhibited at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong from March 18.
At a ceremony introducing the wax figure here today, Chong Wei seemed touched as he thanked the Badminton Association of Malaysia , which has helped him achieve various successes during his 19-year stint there. “The thing that sticks with me was when I faced my doping case while qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympics, my ranking fell to 182 but with everyone’s support, especially BAM, I returned as world number one in 11 months,” he said.
“I am very happy that Madame Tussauds Hong Kong will display this wax figure of Lee Chong Wei, who is our national pride. My ministry is very committed in highlighting our country’s sporting potential,” she said.
