Wei Chong-Kai Wun's Victory Reflects Bright Future For National Badminton - Ahmad Zahid

KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has described the victory of national men’s doubles pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun at the 2025 Malaysia Masters as a proud achievement and a reflection of a bright future for Malaysian badminton.

He also congratulated the duo and their teammates, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, who finished as runners-up in the final held at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, here today.

“Amazing performance, boys! Well done! This clash truly thrilled supporters who had been eagerly waiting to see which team would take home the Perodua Malaysia Masters 2025 title.

“This achievement is something to be proud of—not just a win on court, but a symbol of our national badminton’s increasingly brilliant and promising future. Keep striving for more victories!” he said in a Facebook post.

Wei Chong and Kai Wun, who are currently ranked world number eight, delivered a spirited and consistent performance to clinch a 21-12, 15-21, 21-16 victory in a thrilling 50-minute showdown.

The win ended a 12-year wait for Malaysia since Goh V Shem-Lim Khim Wah last lifted the Malaysia Masters title in 2013.
