Zii Jia’s camp, Team LZJ, announced Yeoh’s appointment in a brief post on X.

“Please welcome our new head coach, Kay Bin.

“Kay Bin, a former international shuttler for Malaysia, brings a wealth of coaching experience locally and abroad.

“He joins the team to continue Zii Jia’s progress into the next phase of his career,” the post read.

After retiring from professional play, Yeoh became a coach at the New Vision Badminton Academy. He also had a coaching stint under Li Mao in China.

On Dec 6, Team LZJ confirmed that coaching director Wong Tat Meng would be leaving the team at the end of the year to embark on a new phase of his coaching career.

Wong became Zii Jia’s coach in May 2023, replacing Indonesian coach Indra Wijaya who left due to the 26-year-old’s desire to explore new coaching approaches.
