Lee Zii Jia (李梓嘉) has been very busy. Earlier this month, he topped the Badminton Asia Championship and secured gold for Malaysia. His win also increased his world ranking from seventh to sixth. But as we all know, while Zii Jia loves badminton and dedicates time to it, he also has many other interests.
This time, Zii Jia and his sponsor, Victor, created a cute sticker set featuring Zii Jia himself. However, according to Zii Jia, the set is missing one thing; a good name. Well, asking the netizens for help had some very interesting results!
The sticker set shows a cartoon version of Zii Jia in a black outfit. One has him smiling brightly while another shows him hitting a shuttlecock with full power. Not only did Zii Jia post it on his Instagram Story, he also showed it off in a post. However, he did ask fans for help in naming his sticker-self. “Come, come, let’s name the little (guy),” he wrote.
“Surname Wo (窝), name Di Ai (睇愛)” the Badminton World Federation suggested, which when put together supposedly means “love”. Zii Jia definitely loved that one. Another fan suggested Lao (Old) Zii Jia (老梓嘉), a throwback to the time Zii Jia mistyped his name on Instagram. Others gave names such as Small Lee (小李), Spicy Chicken, Ayang and Mini Jia.

Of course, his good friend Soh Wooi Yik had to put in his two cents. “Bruce Lee,” Wooi Yik said. “Don’t ask me why.” Of course, Zii Jia is never one to let his friend have the last say in their playful arguments. “Your idea is very noob,” he declared, even giving him a thumbs down emoji to indicate how much he disliked the idea. The interaction made netizens laugh. It got funnier when one fan pointed out that Bruce Lee was the name of Zii Jia’s dog.
Zii Jia has yet to officially announce what he’ll be calling his adorable sticker-self. But, we’re sure it won’t be Bruce Lee!
