As expected, Indonesia dominated the medals, winning the team gold as
well as four individual gold medals. The men's doubles event was the
only one to escape Indonesia as the Malaysian tandem of Cheah Soon Kit
and Yap Kim Hock, fresh from their World Grand Prix Finals triumph in
Singapore in late November, defeated world champions Rexy Mainaky and
Ricky Subagdja of Indonesia in the event championship match.

In the men's team competition, the Burmese side put in a surprising
performance and unexpectedly snatched a bronze medal from Singapore,
the usual bronze medalists together with Thailand.

In the women's singles event, Somharuthai Jaroensiri of Thailand made
the most of the absence of Indonesian prodigy Mia Audina to make her way
to the event final and to a silver medal placing behind Olympic champion
Susi Susanti. Audina was withdrawn from the Indonesian contingent after
suffering an injury at the recent World Grand Prix Finals tournament.
