The highly-spirited duo's dream of striking gold remained just that when they went down to world third ranked Tontowi Ahmad-Liliyana Natsir of Indonesia in 21-14, 21-12.
After the match, Peng Soon thanked his wife and children for their unwavering support despite having to be away from home for prolonged periods.
