Future plans about Dato Lee

While talking about his future plans, Chong Wei said, “The World Championships are held every year except when it’s the Olympic year. I will compete at the next world meet (2013) and even the next Asian Games (2014) if I can still meet the physical demands of the game.”

The 28-year-old shuttler also expressed that he wants to win all the missing titles in his legacy. He intends to remain on track, as there is no other Malaysian shuttler who is worthy to replace Chong Wei at the international level.

Chong Wei added, “I have not won the Olympic, world and Asian titles and I want to add them to my collection. I have also decided to stay on because there is no one to take over my place just yet.”
Besides that, he also said, “It is my dream to see another Chong Wei groomed in this country before I retire. Together with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), I plan to host the Lee Chong Wei Cup”

“This year (2013) is a hectic one for me as I have the Sudirman Cup (in May) and World Championships (in August) coming up. I do not want to rush into hosting it. It takes a lot of planning.It will be good if I can start it later this year or early next year. And I want it to be an annual affair.

“I want it to be held in every state. Currently, in our academy (at Bukit Jalil Sports School), there are not many singles players coming through and that is a real concern for me.”
Chong Wei has a good reason to be concerned.

As what Dato Lee wrote on his book, China team is growing. A new generation of young blood was emerged in their country. That is why he decided to hold an All Young Malaysian Badminton Championship in the near future, in a hope to unearth potential young players.

When asked about his pregnant wife Wong Mew Choo, Chong Wei said: “She is doing fine. We are expecting a baby boy.”
