Meanwhile, another two Malaysian world championships debutants Nurqayyum Nazmi Mohamad Nazim and Yong Rui Jie failed to advance to the men's 1m springboard final, after finishing outside the top 12 in the preliminaries.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 (Bernama) -- The dream of seeing the national sepak takraw squad end its 34-year championship drought in the team regu was shattered after they lost to traditional rivals, Thailand, 0-2 in the final of the 2025 Thai King's Cup today.
