DATUK LEE CHONG WEI
1.PERSON
Datuk Lee Chong Wei DB PJN AMN DSCM DSPN born 21 October 1982 is a retired Malaysian professional badminton player. As a singles player, Lee was ranked first worldwide for 349 weeks, including 199-week streak from 21 August 2008 to 14 June 2012. He is the fourth Malaysian player after Rashid Sidek, Roslin Hashim and Wong Choong Hann to achieve such a ranking (since official rankings were first kept in the 1980s), and is the only Malaysian shuttler to hold the number one ranking for more than a year. Lee is a triple silver medalist at the Olympic Games, and the sixth Malaysian to win an Olympic medal . He won his first silver medal in 2008 also the first time a Malaysian had reached the finals in the men's singles event. This achievement earned him the title Datuk, and led to then Malaysian Prime Minister NAJIB RAZAK describing him as a national hero. He repeated the achievement twice more in 2012 and 2016 thus making him the most successful Malaysian Olympian in history.
2. INTANGIBLE.
Lee won the Commonwealth Games gold medal in April, while winning silver from the mixed team. Lee failed to win the World Tour in the first half of the year. He was bowed to the first round of the Malaysia Open Championship, a tournament that he considered not interested in participating, the third round of the All England Open, and the semi-finals of the Asian Badminton Championships. In the event team, Lee managed to win all matches during the draw, both in Asian Asia Badminton Championships and Thomas Cup. Malaysia reached the semifinals and quarter-finals in both events
3. UNIVERSAL MEANING.
I am proud because he was awarded the Darjah Setia Pangkuan Negeri (DSPN), which carries the title Datuk by Penang Governor Abdul Rahman Abbas on 30 August. He was appointed UNICEF Malaysia Ambassador in February 2009.
4. AUDIENCE
people who are interested in sports badminton throughout the country.
5.THEME STATEMENT.
" LEE CHONG WEI IS NUMBER ONE BADMINTON IN THE WORLD ''
