Zii Jia had been seen on Dec 11 wearing a Victor jersey with the Malaysian flag stitched upside down in his opening Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour Finals match.

In a Bernama report today, Yeoh said she believed that Zii Jia had no intention of disrespecting the country.

“Like I said, Victor has issued an apology… For me, I feel that is sufficient for now,” she said at a press conference in Putrajaya.

Yeoh said the National Sports Council had been tasked with coming up with guidelines to prevent such issues from happening again.

She added that she would hold a meeting with Zii Jia and his team next month on the Road to Gold programme.

Victor, Zii Jia’s sponsor, previously said it regretted the incident and that the oversight did not reflect its respect for Malaysia, its national symbol or the honour of representing the nation on the global stage.

“We sincerely apologise to all Malaysian badminton fans and Lee Zii Jia for the error displayed on his jersey during today’s BWF World Tour Finals,” it said in a statement on Dec 11.
