Dear ST reader,
Loh Kean Yew reached a major milestone in his life in 2023 as he got married earlier in the year but only posted some photos of his wedding proposal in late December. He is hoping 2024 will offer another landmark moment with a medal at the Paris Olympics.
Next, his fellow Singaporean Caroline Chew is also seeking her own happy ending in France. The equestrienne has secured an individual quota Olympic spot for the country and is keen to compete at the Summer Games.
Finally, the year has just begun but already trouble is brewing in Singapore football, with the Football Association of Singapore provisionally suspending council member Harman Ali for a potential breach, related to an allegedly leaked document.
See you again next week. For the latest news on Singapore sports, check out ST Sport on Instagram.
