PETALING JAYA : Top seeds Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie were knocked out of the Singapore Open mixed doubles quarter-finals after losing to Thailand's Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Supissara Paewsampran.
The world No 5 Malaysian pair lost 19-21, 22-20, 17-21 to the eighth-ranked Thai duo in a match that lasted 64 minutes.
At one game apiece, the younger Thai pair then pressured the husband-and-wife pair into a series of unforced errors in the rubber game.
Soon Huat-Shevon have now lost four of their six encounters with Dechapol-Supissara. Their most recent win came at the Badminton Asia Championships in China last month.
The Malaysian pair are still chasing their first title of the year.

Malaysia optimistic trade with Uzbekistan will pick up, says envoy
TASHKENT: Malaysia is optimistic about a potential increase in trade with Uzbekistan, as both countries work to deepen cooperation in new areas such as halal certification, Islamic finance, tourism and green technology. In an interview with Bernama and RTM, here, Malaysian ambassador to Uzbekistan Ilham Tuah Illias acknowledged a recent drop in trade volume, mainly due to import tax on palm oil. However, he expressed confidence in a potential turnaround. 'We are hopeful that trade will pick up, if both governments can agree to waive or continue waiving the (import) tax on Malaysian palm oil. This would enable Uzbek retailers here to resume sourcing their palm oil supply from Malaysia,' he said. In 2024, Malaysia-Uzbekistan trade reached RM369.8 million, making Uzbekistan Malaysia's second-largest trading partner in Central Asia. The trade balance was in Malaysia's favour at RM360.3 million. From January to April 2025, trade between both countries reached RM106 million. Major exports from Malaysia to Uzbekistan include palm oil, coffee, palm-based oleochemical, margarine and shortening, processed food and coconut oil. Imports from Uzbekistan comprise mainly fertilisers, fruits and textiles. Ilham Tuah said the 5% tax on Malaysian palm oil is being reconsidered by Uzbek authorities. A continued exemption could significantly boost Malaysia's exports. 'We hope this move will encourage Uzbek buyers to continue to source their supply from Malaysia. Discussions between the relevant authorities in both countries will be essential in finding a mutually beneficial solution,' he added. The ambassador emphasised the importance of raising public awareness in Uzbekistan about the health benefits of palm oil. 'We must continue educating the Uzbek people about the nutritional value of palm oil and counter the negative narratives promoted by certain parties.' On the tourism front, Ilham Tuah highlighted that over 15,000 Uzbek tourists visited Malaysia last year – a significant increase from previous years, driven by enhanced air connectivity, including direct flights by Batik Air and Uzbekistan Airways. 'This improved connectivity benefits not only tourists but also students from Uzbekistan. Many are drawn to Malaysia's beaches, as Uzbekistan is a landlocked country.' He also noted a growing interest among Malaysian travellers in Uzbekistan, particularly for spiritual tourism. 'Many Malaysians visit Uzbekistan particularly for spiritual reasons. They love to explore the Imam Al Bukhari Mausoleum, which is currently under renovation. Once completed, it is expected to become a favourite destination for Malaysians,' he added. Ilham Tuah noted strong interest in Malaysian halal certification in Uzbekistan, and said the Malaysian Islamic Development Department has signed a memorandum of understanding with the relevant Uzbek authorities to strengthen cooperation in halal certification efforts. 'This collaboration will help local products meet Malaysian halal standards, potentially opening access to broader markets that recognise our certification.' To facilitate smoother trade and investment, both countries are exploring the possibility of establishing a preferential trade agreement. Ilham Tuah said with such a framework, Malaysia could send semifinished goods for final processing in Uzbekistan, which has access to markets in the European Union and Eurasia. 'It's a win-win for both sides. A preferential trade agreement between Malaysia and Uzbekistan is something we are actively considering ... so the relevant agencies of both countries should meet up to discuss and explore this further,' he added. Ilham Tuah also noted the growing demand in halal consumer goods and Muslimah fashion. 'Muslimah fashion is making a strong comeback here. So I encourage Malaysian women entrepreneurs to engage with their counterparts here. There is huge demand here for Muslimah fashion, cosmetics and halal products,' he concluded. – Bernama

Players need more big match experience, says BJKC captain
KUALA LUMPUR: A lack of big match experience was what separated Malaysia from more established tennis nations in the Billie Jean King Cup (BJKC) Asia-Oceania Group II competition which concluded here yesterday (June 21). That is the view of national team captain Koay Hao Sheng who admitted that nerves were a factor for his team during the week-long tournament. Fourth seeds Malaysia - represented by Elsa Wan Abdul Rahman (21 years old), Joleen Saw (18), Lim Zan Ning (20), Hannah Yip (22) and Iman Syuhada Abdullah (19) - lost 2-0 to second seeds Indonesia in their promotional playoff yesterday. "I believe our players are good and can play (at this level of competition), it is just that in terms of experience they are still lacking," said Hao Sheng yesterday (June 21). "They got a little bit tight during the big moments and were sometimes slow to settle into a match. "Joleen came close to winning her singles match against Indonesia but her opponent just had that extra confidence in the final set which allowed her to take the match. "People always say the host nation has an advantage but there is also pressure to win and expectations on the players shoulders. "This (nerves) can be overcome if we can give our players more exposure to higher level competitive matches so they can get used to the pressure and handle such situations better in the future. "If we can do that in the lead up to next year's BJKC, then we should have a better chance at promotion." Top seeds Mongolia won their promotional playoff against the Philippines 2-0. Malaysia had earlier finished second in group A behind Mongolia, which secured their spot in the playoffs and a top-four finish. Malaysia had lost 3-0 to Mongolia but had beaten Kyrgyzstan 2-1, Singapore 3-0 and Northern Mariana Islands 3-0 during the group stage. This is the second season in a row Malaysia has finished in the top-four. The team scored a best-ever third place finish in Group II last year when the competition used a different two-stage, round robin format. There was no decider for third-place this season. Malaysia was also missing its top ranked player Shihomi Leong, 18, who is currently on tour in Taiwan. As expected, the Philippines and Indonesia did not send their big guns to the competition. Philippines' rising star Alex Eala as well as Indonesia's Janice Tjen and Priska Nugroho did not feature in Kuala Lumpur.

However, he said that extinguishing work at Division 2 at the incident location was still continuing due to difficulties due to the obstruction of large and numerous oil drums, making it difficult for firefighters to access the fire to extinguish the fire. A total of five premises were burnt in the incident involving an area of about 1,000 square metres, including 15 vehicles that were also destroyed. The Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) operations centre received an emergency call on the incident at 12.54pm and a total of 34 personnel and assets from several fire stations including volunteer teams were rushed to the scene. — Bernama
