Indonesia.
In another match, Thailand hammered Brunei 12-0. Malaysia wrap-up
heir fixtures against Brunei today.
"Malaysia are too strong to upset in the final, but I believe the score will
not be as high as when we met in the pool," said Singapore coach Lim
Chiow Chuan.
Singapore were a spent force when they met Malaysia on Thursday
evening, as they had beaten Thailand 4-2 in the same morning.
However, with a rest day before meeting Malaysia in the final, Singapore

Lim, who was Malaysia's Project Manager for the Doha 2006
programme, will be involved with his last tournament with Singapore.
After the Asean Schools, he will return to Malaysia are the Director of
