Shuttler Boon Le shines but Malaysia fall to China at Asian Juniors

KUALA LUMPUR: The BA of Malaysia (BAM) have work to do if they hope to strengthen their youth set-up, after the national team failed to secure a medal in the mixed team event at the Badminton Asia Junior Championships in Surakarta, Indonesia. Malaysia were knocked out in the quarter-finals on Monday, falling 110-64 to defending champions China at the Manahan Indoor Stadium. There was early hope when 17-year-old Lim Boon Le edged Xiao Gao Bo 11-9 in the opening boys' singles match, giving Malaysia a surprise lead. But that was as good as it got. From there, the junior shuttlers struggled to cope with China's firepower and failed to win another match. Team manager Leong Kin Weng praised Boon Le's fighting spirit but admitted the gulf in class was too much to bridge. "Boon Le performed very well in his win, and so did the other players, but China are just too strong," said Kin Weng. "Overall, our players gained valuable exposure from the mixed team event. Hopefully, they will do better in the individual competition." The individual events begin on Wednesday. This year's result means Malaysia fall short of last year's effort in Yogyakarta, when they reached the semi-finals and bagged a bronze medal. They also exited in the quarter-finals at the 2023 edition, also in Yogyakarta, where they lost to Thailand. Malaysia last won the mixed team title in 2009 on home soil. RESULTS Q-FINALS Malaysia 64 China 110 (Lim Boon Le bt Xiao Gao Bo 11-9; Kong Wei Xiang lost to Liu Yang Ming Yu, Damien Ling-Irfan Shazmir lost to Chen Jun Ting-Liu Jun Rong 11-9, Loh Ziheng-Ahmad Redzuan Zulwawaqqarizal Ahmad lost to Jun Ting-Jun Rong 11-4; Eng Ler Qi lost to Xu Wen Jing 13-6, Lim Zhi Shin lost to Yin Yi Qing 11-4, Dania Sofea Zaidi-Low Zi Yu lost to Chen Fan Shu Tian-Tan Ke Xuan 11-10; Dania Sofea Zaidi-Low Zi Yu lost to Fan Shu Tian-Ke Xuan 11-8, Loh Ziheng-Noraqilah Maisarah Ramdan lost to Hong Yi Li-Cao Zi Han 11-3, Loh Ziheng-Noraqilah Maisarah Ramdan lost to Hong Yi Li-Cao Zi Han 11-4); Thailand 110 Hong Kong 98, South Korea 110 Indonesia 109, Japan 110 India 104.

China defeats Malaysia in BAJC 2025 quarter-finals

KUALA LUMPUR: Defending champions China denied Malaysia a place in the last four with a commanding 110-64 win in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Badminton Asia Junior Championships (BAJC) mixed team event in Solo, Indonesia today. Malaysia began the last eight tie in style at the Manahan Indoor Stadium when men's singles shuttler Leem Boon Li defeated Xiao Gao Bo 11-9. But that was as good as it got for Malaysia, as China went on to win the rest of the matches. This year's BAJC features a new format where each team play 10 matches - two each in men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Each match is played up to 11 points, with the first team to reach a total of 110 points declared the winner. Malaysia had earlier confirmed their quarter-final spot by emerging as Group B runners-up, where they defeated Macau (110-59), Myanmar 110-52 and Singapore 110-58 before going down to group winners Indonesia 92-110. Malaysia have won the BAJC title twice - in the 2007 and 2009 editions - BERNAMA

Malaysia to battle defending champs China at Asian Juniors

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia must overcome defending champions China in the quarter-finals on Monday to stand a chance of winning a medal at the Badminton Asia Junior Championships mixed team event. The national squad finished second in Group B after going down 110-92 to hosts Indonesia at the Manahan Indoor Stadium in Surakarta on Sunday. The defeat sets up a tough last-eight clash with China — the same side that ended Malaysia's run in the semi-finals last year in Yogyakarta. Malaysia's only win against Indonesia came through girls' doubles pair Dania Sofea Zaidi-Low Zi Yu, who defeated Riska Anggraini-Rinjani Kwinara Nastine 11-9. However, the rest of the team failed to deliver. Team manager Leong Kin Weng, who is also the Penang BA president, admitted Indonesia were the better side. "However, a few of our players did not perform as we had expected," he said when contacted." "Malaysia face a stern test against China, who are once again among the title favourites. "It will be very tough," added Kin Weng. In the other quarter-final ties, Thailand take on Hong Kong, Indonesia play South Korea, while Japan face India.
