However, Jin Wei faces a tough second round match, against China's world No. 5 Chen Yu Fei.
In the men's singles, Cheam June Wei lost in the first round to Indonesia's 2023 World Junior champion Alwi Farhan.
World No. 68 June Wei went down 21-16, 21-14 to the world No. 25th Indonesian.
In an all-Malaysian mixed doubles affair, Loo Bing Kun-Go Pei Kee came from behind to edge Wee Yee Hern-Chan Wen Tse 13-21, 21-15, 21-19.
