SINGAPORE: Singaporean athlete Soh Rui Yong, known for holding national records in four long-distance running events in Singapore, will not participate in the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. The Singapore National Olympic Council has excluded him from the lineup for continuing to make what it has deemed inappropriate remarks.
Additionally, his acceptance of title sponsorship without permission, which is prohibited for Singaporean athletes, also caused issues. SNOC further stated that Soh Rui Yong continued to engage in derogatory and mocking behaviour in public but did not provide specific details regarding their decision.
