Malaysian badminton player Lee Zii Jia has filed an application with the Kuala Lumpur High Court seeking an interim injunction to prevent his father, Lee Chee Hin, and sister, Lee Zii Yii, from making certain financial and managerial decisions at LZJ Management, the company established to oversee his career and commercial pursuits.

The court documents, filed on July 2, include Lee Chee Hin, Lee Zii Yii, younger brother Lee Tao, and LZJ Management as respondents. Lee Zii Jia, currently ranked 42nd by the Badminton World Federation, is aiming to restrict his father and sister, both directors of the company, from approving directors’ fees, allowances, bonuses, or other financial benefits exceeding their monthly salaries.

LZJ Management was formed after Lee Zii Jia chose to operate independently following his departure from the Badminton Association of Malaysia. According to his affidavit, Lee Zii Jia owns 90 percent of the company, while Lee Zii Yii and Lee Tao hold 9 percent and 1 percent respectively.

In addition to financial controls, Lee has sought to limit the authority of his father and sister concerning decisions over the appointment or removal of directors, the appointment of the company secretary, disposal of company assets, issuing new shares, and alterations to shareholding structures. He has requested a court order mandating LZJ Management to convene an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to address governance and management issues within the company.

Lee’s affidavit details a previous attempt to hold such a meeting on December 22, 2025, which failed due to insufficient attendance to meet quorum requirements. He has asked for the EGM to be convened within 14 days of the court’s order or a timeframe determined by the court. The application also seeks authorization to issue and serve the notice for the meeting, as well as to appoint an independent chairman to oversee the proceedings.

The respondents, Lee Chee Hin and others, have contested the injunction application. In a reply affidavit filed on August 6, Lee Chee Hin argued that court intervention was unnecessary, asserting that the company has continued to manage matters related to his son’s professional badminton career effectively.

As of now, it remains unclear whether the court has approved or dismissed the requested injunction.
