His victory not only lights up Malaysia’s chances for a medal but brings the entire nation together in a wave of support and pride that resonates from the streets of Kuala Lumpur to the highlands of Genting.

Facing him in the semi-finals is Thailand’s world champion, Kunlavut Vitidsarn, another player known for his remarkable skills and tactical prowess. Fans are already buzzing about this epic showdown that promises to be nothing short of a spectacle lit with edge-of-the-seat action. Will Zii Jia’s gentle giant persona triumph over his opponent, or will Kunlavut spoil the party? As they say, in sports, anything is possible, especially when you’ve got the whole nation behind you!
