No gold, but not a total failure

Commendable feat: Cheng Su Yin (left) and Yap Roy King went all the way to the mixed doubles final before going down fighting 22-20, 8-21, 16-21 to Indonesia’s Rehan Naufal-Lisa Ayu.

FOR the first time in 12 years, the Malaysian badminton came back without a single gold medal, falling short of their target of at least one gold.

The last time Malaysia did not contribute even one gold was in the 2011 edition in Palembang.
