The trio of Danish, Shin Peng and Bryan Ti contributed a bronze in the Duilian event (9.663). Wushu Federation of Malaysia president Datuk Chong Kim Fatt said: "This gives us a good gauge of where we stand ahead of the World Championships in September and the SEA Games this December. "Our overall level has improved, though the other countries have made bigger strides. Still, we managed one gold, seven silver and three bronze despite budget limitations." Malaysia finished overall fifth in the two-day competition. China topped the table with 10 gold and one silver, followed by Hong Kong (4-4-1) and Singapore (2-1-2).
