KUALA LUMPUR: Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu met shuttlers Lee Zii Jia and Goh Jin Wei for a discussion at an undisclosed location in here today.
The meeting, which lasted for roughly an hour, allowed Faizal to gain a clearer picture of the situation faced by the duo, who have been banned for two years by the BA of Malaysia (BAM).
Faizal hopes that the issues faced can be resolved soon.
"I had the opportunity to meet Zii Jia today and hear for myself his views," said Faizal via social media.
"What is clear is that his commitment towards Malaysian badminton remains firm.
"As long as all of us are on the same page when it comes to national interest, we can move forward as one."
Zii Jia was accompanied by his sister Lee Zii Yi while Jin Wei came together with Kuala Lumpur Racquet Club (KLRC) manager Sairul Amar Ayob.
Faizal's press secretary Faidz Sanusi disclosed that no decisions were made during the meeting.
The minister will meet BAM tomorrow for a discussion.
