Evan Rich Chong Qi Wei, who progressed directly to the round of 16, narrowly lost 6-5 to Vietnam's Nguyen Duy. However, he was eliminated 6-2 by Taiwan's Olympic silver medallist Tang Chih-chun in the next round.
In the women's recurve event, Joey Tan defeated Kyrgyzstan's Eliza Tynalieva 6-0 in the initial round, but was subsequently defeated 7-3 by Taiwan's Li Tsai-chi in the round of 16. Ariana Nur Damia Zairi, who also advanced to the round of 16 without challenge, lost 6-0 to Indonesia's bronze medallist Diananda Choirunissa. Fatin Nurfatehah Mat Salleh remains the sole Malaysian participant in the archery competition.
She will take on South Korea's Park Jung Yoon in the quarter-finals of the women's individual compound event on Thursday.
