In the boys’ doubles event, Malaysia’s Ziheng and Tan Zhi Yang fell short of the title after a narrow defeat to Indonesia’s Alexius Ongkytama Subagio and Aquino Evano Keneddy Tangka, losing 21-18, 19-21, 20-22.
Meanwhile, the boys’ singles title went to top seed Lam Ka To from Hong Kong, who overcame Indonesia’s Radithya Bayu Wardhana 21-8, 21-9, while the girls’ singles crown went to Thailand’s Tonrug Saeheng.
