Sunday, 17 May 2026 | 1:15 PM MYTPETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s top men’s singles shuttler Leong Jun Hao is at risk of being dropped from the national team following disciplinary issues.
Badminton Association of Malaysia performance committee chairman Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei revealed that Jun Hao had missed several training sessions and also failed to give his full commitment in training, which affected his performances in several tournaments. National singles coaching director Kenneth Jonassen had even suggested that Jun Hao be removed from the national squad.
However, Chong Wei is still willing to give the 27-year-old another chance as he believes the player can still change.
“His discipline has been an issue because he has not been focused in training. Sometimes he does not turn up. If he misses training because of injury, I can accept that.
“But if it is a disciplinary issue and he intentionally skips training, then there is no excuse. I have already told him that if I hear again that he did not attend training, he can pack his bags and leave on his own. I do not even need to issue a letter anymore,” said Chong Wei.
