SINGAPORE – Top national marathoner Soh Rui Yong will return to action and represent the Republic at the Cambodia SEA Games in May, putting an end to a more than five-year absence from major competitions after several clashes with the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC).
Soh, 31, had been summoned from London, where he is pursuing a law degree, to face a special appeals committee – comprising bowler Shayna Ng, former Singapore Sepak Takraw Federation president Abdul Halim Kader, lawyer Michael Palmer, former national taekwondo athlete S. Sinnathurai, Fencing Singapore president Juliana Seow and chief of Singapore Sport Institute Su Chun Wei – last week.
