KUALA LUMPUR – Professional men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia has resolved his legal dispute with LZJ Management Sdn Bhd and members of his family amicably at the High Court here today, with the court recording the agreed settlement terms.
Earlier, Scoop reported that Zii Jia, 28, had filed an originating summons against the company, his father Lee Chee Hin, 59, his sister Lee Zii Yii, 30, and his younger brother Lee Tao, 25, over the management and finances of the company.
Zii Jia’s counsel, Ahmad Zayd Ahmad Zuber, informed Judge Leong Wai Hong that the parties had reached a settlement and sought a consent judgment based on their agreed terms.
Reading from the draft consent, Ahmad Zayd said an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of LZJ Management would be held on Oct 31, in accordance with the notice dated Oct 16, with the costs to be borne by the company.
“Pending the disposal of the EGM, the second and third respondents (Chee Hin and Zii Yii), whether personally, through agents or through any party acting on their behalf, are restrained from approving, paying, disbursing or causing the payment of director’s fees, allowances, bonuses, remuneration or financial benefits (save for monthly salaries, calculated with effect from Sept 1) to themselves from the first respondent,” he said.
Ahmad Zayd added that Chee Hin and Zii Yii were also restrained from approving, signing or ratifying any board or company resolution without the court’s permission.
The restriction covers resolutions concerning the appointment or removal of directors, the appointment of a company secretary, the disposal of material assets, the issuance of new shares, changes to the shareholding structure, and decisions affecting the company’s management, administration or control.
No order was made as to costs.
After the draft consent was read out, Judge Leong asked Zii Jia to come forward to confirm that he understood and agreed to the settlement terms.
“Although he is well known, we still need to check his MyKad and verify whether he is the same person,” said the judge, drawing laughter from members of the media and the public in court.
Judge Leong then asked Zii Jia whether he agreed to the settlement terms.
“Yes, I agree,” Zii Jia replied.
The judge subsequently called Chee Hin and Tao to confirm their agreement, with both stating that they accepted the terms.
Their counsel, Andrian Ng Chen Yip, informed the court that his other client, Zii Yii, was overseas but had also agreed to the order.
“Thank you to the parties for resolving this case amicably. This is good for all parties, and everyone can move on with their lives,” said Judge Leong.
Samantha Cheng appeared for LZJ Management during the proceedings.
In his originating summons filed on July 2, Zii Jia, the majority shareholder of LZJ Management, said he had taken steps to convene an EGM to discuss the company’s management and governance but had been unsuccessful.
Zii Jia owns a 90 per cent stake in the company, while Zii Yii holds nine per cent and Tao owns the remaining one per cent.
He sought a court order for the EGM to be held within 14 days of the order, with the meeting to proceed regardless of the absence of, or refusal to attend by, any member, director or company secretary.
The settlement now provides for the EGM to take place on Oct 31, subject to the terms recorded by the court. October 20, 2026
