Malaysian badminton legend and Olympic silver medallist Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei will headline the “Beyond Greatness: From Inspiration to Impact” live talk this October 24-25, 2026 at the Idea Live Arena, Petaling Jaya.
The two-day event features the former world number one sharing inspiring stories about his life, career and resilience to empower the Malaysian public.
The announcement was made during the press conference in Kuala Lumpur, which unveiled a strategic partnership between wellness and community platform Aisee Life, the ASEAN Co-operatives Organization (ACO) and Chong Wei.
The partnership brings together community leadership and personal inspiration to drive meaningful social impact.
Chong Wei’s journey extends far beyond his achievements on the badminton court. Through years of discipline, sacrifice and determination, he has become a powerful symbol of Malaysian unity, resilience and excellence.
Chong Wei will take centre stage at the talk, where audiences will have the opportunity to hear firsthand lessons from his 19-year badminton journey, including the challenges he overcame, the values that guided him and the mindset that helped shape his success.
“I am honoured to be part of Beyond Greatness and to collaborate with organisations that share a commitment to empowering individuals and creating positive impact.
“Throughout my journey, I have learnt that success is not defined solely by achievements, but by the resilience we build through challenges and the lives we inspire along the way.
“I hope this initiative will encourage more Malaysians to believe in themselves, embrace challenges and continue striving to become the best version of themselves,” said Chong Wei.
The event also marked the formalisation of a strategic partnership between Aisee Life and ACO through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), reflecting a shared commitment to empowering communities, promoting self-development and driving positive social impact across Malaysia and the ASEAN region.
Ai See Life director and community development advisor Y.M. Sharifah Wani Jamalullail said that meaningful success extends beyond personal achievements and involves empowering communities.
“Beyond Greatness is built on the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, realise their potential and create a better future for themselves and their communities.
“Through collaborations with organisations such as ACO and inspiring individuals like Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei, we hope to encourage more people to embrace resilience, lifelong learning and positive action,” she said.
Meanwhile, ACO and Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan Malaysia Berhad (Angkasa) president Datuk Seri Prof Adjung Dr Abdul Fattah Abdullah said the collaboration demonstrates how organisations from different sectors can unite to achieve a common purpose.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to creating opportunities, strengthening communities and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
“By combining our respective strengths and networks, we hope to create initiatives that deliver lasting value and positive impact for communities across the region,” he said.
Tickets will be available for purchase from July 1, 2026 priced at RM369, which includes a premium skincare and wellness package valued at RM924.
