Personal life edit
Myisha has two other siblings and spent most of her life in her hometown, Johor Bahru. Her parents initially wanted her to become a ballerina at a young age. She tried to pursue a career in taekwondo but she did not enjoy the sport because it was too rough. At the age of 9, she took up badminton after accompanying her brother to his first badminton class.[4][5]
Career edit
