After the break, they led by five points in the third quarter but Malaysia battled back to tie the match at 35-35 in the last quarter.
"For us, this can be considered a victory. The Singapore fans tried to drown us out with their vociferous support but our girls were up to the task," Malaysia's coach Aminah Saari told reporters afterwards.
Malaysia's chef-de-mission Datuk Seri Mohamad Norza Zakaria, who was present, said he was proud of their performance in the "pressure cooker" environment.
