SINGAPORE — Marathoner Soh Rui Yong has apologised again to the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC), this time for what he wrote in 2019 that suggested the council comprised "clowns". The blog post of that has since been taken down.
In a letter to SNOC, which he posted on Facebook and sent to the media on Thursday (Oct 6), Soh unreservedly apologised to the council for any past statements that had cast doubt on the its propriety.
“In hindsight, the use of the word ‘clowns’ was unnecessary. I am sorry. The blog post has been taken down and I undertake not to use the term ‘clowns’ on SNOC again,” he wrote.
“After a few years of disagreements with SNOC since April 2019, I wish to put the past behind, so that I can focus on my running and contributing in any way I can to Singapore sports,” he added.
He also apologised for any past statements about his exclusion from past Southeast Asian (SEA) Games that “may be construed as disparaging” to the council.
“I hope to race for Singapore again if selected and fly the Singapore flag high,” the two-time SEA Games champion wrote.
