It was a stroll in the park for all Malaysian shuttlers.

Professional mixed doubles pair Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jing secured Malaysia’s first point following a straight set victory over Kalombo Mulenga-Ogar Siamupangila in 21-6, 21-3.

National top men’s singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong contributed Malaysia’s second point after he thumped Chongo Mulenga 21-8, 21-8.

After the match, Tze Yong admitted that he still needs to improve in terms of controlling the match in the next game. “Still could not get my feel of the match, and the shuttle movement here is quite slow,” he said.

Malaysia’s third and winning point came through independent women’s singles player Goh Jin Wei who hardly raised a sweat as a series of unforced errors by Elizabeth Chipeleme handed victory to the Malaysian 21-1, 21-2.

With two more games left to play, both national top pairs, men’s doubles duo Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Pearly Tan-M Thinaah did not have a problem earning the points.

Aaron-Wooi Yik swept past Chongo Mulenga-Kalombo Mulenga 21-13, 21-9 while Pearly-Thinaah routed Elizabeth Chipeleme-Ogad Siamupangila, 21-3, 21-5.

Malaysia will have a great opportunity to book their quarter-finals spot early as they will take on Jamaica at 7pm local time today (2am Malaysian time). The team will complete the Group D fixture against South Africa tomorrow.

Malaysia last won the badminton team gold in the 2014 Games held in Glasgow.
