The duo was in their element in their six dives for 398.16 points to ensure Malaysia its second diving gold on a day when the nation won the first through Wendy Ng Yan Yee and also the silver through Jasmine Lai Pui Yee in the women’s 3m springboard diving for a 1-2 finish.

Thailand took the silver in the 3m synchronized springboard through Chananwat Juntaphadawan-Thitiphoon Marksin who totaled 344.76 with Singaporean twins Mark Lee Han Ming and Timothy Lee Han Kuan taking the bronze for their country with 340.53.
