MALAYSIA’S hopes of ending their 26-year gold drought in the men’s team regu sepaktakraw competition ended with a tame 3-0 loss to Thailand at the Titiwangsa Indoor Stadium.

Despite the strong support from the home crowd, Malaysia failed to turn on the style as all three regus lost in straight sets.
