Soh Rui Yong turns down S’pore Olympic Council’s request to keep mum
“On 7 August 2019, I issued a legal letter to the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC), seeking clarification as to why I had failed to meet the selection criteria for the 2019 SEA Games Marathon (despite running a national record of 2:23:42, more than 8 minutes faster than the stipulated qualifying mark of 2:31:52), and the specific grounds of SNOC’s decision to exclude me from the team representing Singapore at the 2019 SEA Games.”
Through its lawyers Rajah and Tann, the SNOC responded to Mr Soh the following day, asking for two provisions.
One, that they would be given “by the end of next week” to respond to Mr Soh’s letter, despite the 5:00 pm on August 13 deadline Mr Soh had asked for.
Two, for matters to be kept private between them.
Mr Soh wrote that the PNOC had asked “That future correspondence between SNOC and me on this matter were not to be publicly shared or disseminated by either party.”
