The Malaysian pair, beaten in one of their pool matches by Indian's Dipika Pallikal and Joshana Chinappa, fell to a narrow 11-10, 11-8 loss to the third seeds. (Indian wrestlers wrap up two gold, a silver and a bronze)
David, so dominant in the singles, knows the doubles is a different event entirely but was philosophical with September's Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea the next big event on the horizon. (Vikas Gowda bags Discus gold)
"It was close, the first game could have gone either way," said the 30-year-old. (Indian men's hockey team in semis)
"It's just a shame we lost the first game and couldn't turn it around. "The singles is always preferable to the doubles as we play that all year round and not just every four years.
"To win the gold was great but I wish I could have done for Wee Wern as a partner.
"I have a few more tournaments in Malaysia and Hong Kong and after that we will think about the Asian Games. It's quite a cool stretch."
