Our national badminton hero, Dato’ Lee Chong Wei was officially announced as the new brand ambassador for the department store chain, Parkson, in a simple but lively affair in Parkson Pavilion Kuala Lumpur last week.

Tan Sri William Cheng said,”We feel that Dato’ Lee Chong Wei personifies our brand and our journey… Being a Malaysian born and bred here, also had a long journey to success filled with ups and downs but nothing can keep him down and look at him today, a three-times Olympics silver medalist and still going strong.”
