Jun Hao went down 18-21, 21-5, 22-20 to Taiwan's world No. 38 Justin Hoh, Malaysia's second-highest ranked men's singles player, was also sent packing following a defeat to Hong Kong's world No. With Zii Jia still working his way back up the rankings and the supporting cast struggling for consistency, Malaysia's singles department remains a pressing concern.
