National team manager Datuk Awang Sham Amit said the 1-2 defeat to South Korea would not derail the Malaysian Sepak Takraw Association's gold medal target.
"Players who were fielded against South Korea during the semi-final match were not the first choice players. We decided to give all the 21 players a chance to see their capabilities," said Awang who is also the association's vice president.
"Though South Korea beat us, it does not mean that they (Korea) are a great team and difficult to beat," he said when contacted.
At 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Malaysia won two silver and a bronze medal
