A Superb win by Lin Dan over world No. 1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei in the first Singles sparked the total collapse for Malaysia who never looked like ending their 18-year wait since 1992.
The superb confident Lin dan pulled off a stunning 21-17, 21-8 win over Datuk Lee in 45 minute to get the crucial first point. To cap off a magnificent display, he took off his shirt and performed a popping dance.
Hope were high on KKK & TBH to level the tie but Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng are too hot too handle, going down 21-15, 21-10 in 36 minute.
National coach Rexy pinned high hopes on KKK & TBH with the home advantage, they were beaten mercilessly by the fast attacking Chinese pair.
With the defeats of Datuk Lee, KKK & TBH, the battle is as well as over for Malaysia.
As expected, Choon Hann found his younger opponent Chen Jin a tough nut to crack. Choon Hann wrapped up his campaign in his seventh Finals without a single win for Malaysia after running out of steam against Chen Jin, going down 21-16, 21-7
The defeat saw Malaysia losing 0-3 to China in the semi-finals.
