    20 Athletes You Wish You Could See More Of

    So many athletes have set this SEA Games alight with their performances.

    But as the Games comes to an end, we look at 20 we wish could just stay on a little longer – after all, they are so easy on the eyes.


    Male athletes

    The eldest son of Singapore legend Fandi Ahmad appears to have inherited the best of both worlds – his famous father’s footballing talent, and his mother’s (former model Wendy Jacobs) good looks.

    With his strapping 1.87m frame and smouldering stare, small wonder then that the Young Lions striker already has a rabid following of young female fans on social media.

    2. Tyler Christian Ruiz, Philippines, 23 (High jump)

    This Filipino-American dreamboat doesn’t just excel in sport – he’s pretty nifty on the piano and guitar too.

    Finished fifth in the men’s high jump with a 2.08m effort, well short of his personal best of 2.13m.

    3. Kenny Bun, Cambodia, 25 (Tennis)

    Born in France, the tanned and wiry Bun is coolness personified on the tennis court. Won a bronze in the men’s singles.

    This taijiquan and tajijian world champion packs a lethal punch, winning gold in both optional events at these Games.

    Kwok is a fan of singer Bruno Mars and has a unique ritual of trimming her locks before or after a competition, which she says helps her alleviate the tension.

    10. Rachel Daquis, Philippines, 27 (Volleyball)

    With her model-like looks, this leggy beauty is, quite rightly, the poster girl for the sport in her country.

    Daquis, who made the cover of FHM Philippines’ October 2014 issue, emerged seventh in a recent poll of the magazine’s top 10 sexiest women.

    11. Farah Ann Abdul Hadi, Malaysia, 21 (Gymnastics)

    Despite doing her country proud with six golds, the artistic gymnast found herself at the centre of a controversy when netizens accused her of wearing revealing attire to compete.

    Her sister Katarina Abdul Hadi is in Malaysia’s synchronised swimming squad.

    12. Thidasavanh Sotthachit, Laos, 17 (Taekwondo)

    The Vientiane native, who made her Games debut in Singapore, is still in high school and is a fan of rock band Maroon 5. Interestingly, the school is called Sotthachit School as her mother is the principal.

    She lost her women’s Under-62kg semi-final bout to eventual champion Ha Thi Nguyen of Vietnam.

    While rainy weather put a dampener on large chunks of the tennis competition, German-born Lehnert certainly made up for it with her showbiz looks.

    She won a bronze in the women’s singles and two silvers in the doubles and team events.

    Sim’s petite 1.50m frame belies a fiercely competitive streak – she bounced back from the disappointment of losing out on a gold in the individual poomsae two years ago in Myanmar to secure victory on home soil.

    Loves shopping and watching TV series like any ordinary girl, but watch out for her swift, gravity-defying kicks.

  • Thailand Beat Myanmar To Win Football Gold

    Thailand Beat Myanmar To Win Football Gold

    Thailand overcame a spirited Myanmar and their noisy fans 3-0 in the final of the SEA Games football tournament on Monday to cement their position as kings of the region.

    Centreback Tanaboon Kesarat, who helped the men’s full national team win the Southeast Asian championships in December, struck the opening goal, neatly angling his body and diverting a 51st minute home after Myanmar failed to clear a corner.

    Chananan Pombubpha, who had been guilty of wasting a number of chances beforehand, made the game safe when he was put clear by playmaker Chanathip Songkrasin in the 63rd with substitute Pinyo Inpinit wrapping up the scoring with 12 minutes remaining.

    The victory was the Thai’s 15th football gold in the biennial multi-sports event and 10th in the last 12 editions. The under-23s won all sevens games in Singapore, conceding just one goal.

    Head coach Choketawee Promrut told reporters it was the best Thai under-23 winning side to win the SEA Games title and said a halftime tactical switch won gold.

    “In the first half, Myanmar were compact, very good. In the dressing room (we said that) we must play wide. It worked.”

    The Thai’s started Monday’s final as red hot favourites and carved open numerous opportunities but a combination of wasteful finishing, in particular by Chananan, and superb stops by Myanmar goalkeeper Phyo Kyaw Zin kept the match scoreless.

    Every defensive clearance roundly cheered by the majority Myanmar crowd in the National Stadium who came in hope of a first football gold in the under-23 event since 1973, also in Singapore.

    The longer the match stayed goalless the more they believed an upset was possible by their team, who had over-achieved in reaching the final for the first time since 1993 and had adopted the slogan “no stars, no problem”.

    But eventually their resistance was broken when an inswinging corner from their right bounced off Ye Ko Oo and fell to the grateful Tanaboon.

    The goal brought about a drop in defensive concentration and Chananan wasted one chance clear on goal before eventually finding the net after the talented Chanathip had dispossessed the unfortunate Ye Ko Oo in midfield and sent him through again.

    Myanmar pressed for a way back into the game through the lively Shine Thura in attack but they were restricted to shots from long range before Pinyo trickled home a third after a delightful dinked through ball by skipper Sarach Yooyen.

    “We missed our target, I’m very sad for our fans,” said Myanmar coach Kyi Lwin, who was part of the team that lost to Thailand in the 1993 final in Singapore.

  • Exposed! R J Ronaldo & Family In Saudi Arabia, Works For Aecom As Architect

    Exposed! R J Ronaldo & Family In Saudi Arabia, Works For Aecom As Architect

    Dear A.S.S.,

    I compiled these screenshots for everyone to know who this hater RJ Ronaldo is.

    His pictures on Facebook. His two accounts, RJ Ronaldo (www.facebook.com/rj.felices.7) and Naraka Nagato (www.facebook.com/rj.felices).

    This guy is a Pinoy who is working for AECOM, a MNC firm in design and building industry that has offices in Singapore and all over the world. His job there is a small time architect who is now in the AECOM branch in Saudi Arabia. Ironic, he admits he is building houses there which he and his cockroach family will never be able to afford.

    He graduated from some Pinoy school that no one has ever heard of before: Lyceum of Iligan Foundation College. Don’t know if we can even trust the safety in the buildings he designed. Maybe will collapse haha…

    Singaporeans, I encourage you to remember this face and think of the many Pinoysthat the government is importing. Remember Edz Ello, remember this guy. AlthoughPinoys may smile at you and pretend to be your friend, but inside they are just waiting to see you fall and take over your jobs and lives. You have been warned!

  • SAF Investigating Photos Of Reservists Relaxing In Taiwanese Camp

    SAF Investigating Photos Of Reservists Relaxing In Taiwanese Camp

    According to Taiwanese media, a group of National Service reservists from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) took a photo of themselves having a break during an annual military exercise known as Starlight this year. Little did they expect that their photo would go viral in Taiwanese social media, with Taiwanese netizens and news media criticizing them for being ill disciplined and acting like they were at home.

    See a video from Taiwanese news media about the incident.

    The 2 photos that have gone viral show the soldiers drinking beer, gambling and playing with their handphones. According to Taiwanese netizens, the photos were uploaded on Facebook by the soldiers in the photos themselves. One of the soldiers who uploaded the photos had even boasted that going for an exercise in Taiwan was “relaxing”. The other photo showed a fridge full of beer stocked by the soldiers for their break time.

    Taiwanese netizens and media have jumped on this chance to criticize the soldiers, scolding them for being ill-disciplined and treating an army base like their home.

    The SAF and Ministry of Defence say they will be conducting investigations into this incident.

  • New Citizen From PRC Went AWOL To Pursue Medical Studies At Cambridge

    New Citizen From PRC Went AWOL To Pursue Medical Studies At Cambridge

    He went absent without official leave (AWOL) for more than five years to pursue his studies in Britain.

    Wang Yinchu, then a 22-year-old full-time national serviceman, was one month away from completing his national service when he left Singapore on Oct 8, 2008 to pursue his pre-clinical medical studies at the University of Cambridge.

    After he returned on July 2 last year, he pleaded guilty to being AWOL and was sentenced to three weeks’ detention.

    But the chief military prosecutor appealed against this sentence in the military court of appeal on May 29 and urged a stiffer sentence.

    He was then given 18 months’ detention.
