Malaysia suffered a disappointing 3-2 loss to Hong Kong in their opening match of the 2025 Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championship (BAMTC) at the Qingdao Conson Sports Centre in Qingdao, China. The Malaysian team, hoping for a strong start, fell behind early as the mixed doubles pair of Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin struggled against Hong Kong 's Tang Chun Man-Ng Tsz Yau, losing 21-17, 17-21, 11-21 in a 49-minute battle.However, Malaysia fought back when women's singles player K.
Letshanaa secured a 21-18, 21-18 victory over Saloni Samirbhai Mehta, leveling the score at 1-1. Hopes were raised again when men's singles player Justin Hoh took to the court, but his challenge was thwarted by Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk Yiu, who emerged victorious with a 19-21, 16-21 win. The women's doubles pair of Go Pei Kee-Teoh Mei Xing then faced a tough battle against Yeung Nga Ting-Yeung Pui Lam but ultimately fell short, losing 17-21, 14-21. This defeat sealed the result for Hong Kong, leaving Malaysia with a 1-3 deficit.In a final attempt to salvage some pride, Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun took to the court against Hung Kuei Chun-Lui Chun Wai and emerged victorious with a 21-13, 21-11 win. This win, though a consolation, couldn't erase the sting of defeat. Malaysia now sits at the bottom of Group B with no points, while Indonesia and Hong Kong lead the group with one point each. Only the top two teams from each group will advance to the quarter-finals, meaning Malaysia faces an uphill battle to secure a spot in the next round.
