KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has congratulated the national sepak takraw squad for clinching the Asian Cup 2025 regu title after defeating Thailand 2-0 in the final at Stadium Titiwangsa yesterday.

“Congratulations, our sepak takraw heroes! Alhamdulillah, once again we witnessed Malaysia defeating Thailand to lift the title — this time in the regu final of the Asian Cup 2025.
