Malaysia’s doubles coach Herry Iman Pierngadi confirmed that Japan’s Shuji Sawada-Daigo Tanioka conceded the walkover because one of them suffered an injury.
Kai Wun-Roy King were only paired together about a month ago and have played in just three tournaments.
Earlier, national men’s singles player Cheam June Wei was beaten by China’s Zhu Xuan Chen 8-21, 21-16, 12-21 in the semi-finals.
