Lee won the silver medal in the 2008 Olympic Games, becoming the first Malaysian to reach the final of the men's singles event and ending Malaysia's Olympic medal drought since 1996. This achievement also earned him the title Datuk.
As a singles player, Lee was ranked first worldwide on August 21, 2008.
