Anwar hails squash ace Ng Eain Yow after Asian Games gold secures LA28 Olympic berth

KUALA LUMPUR – In a Facebook post, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hailed national squash ace Ng Eain Yow for defending his men’s singles gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games today. Anwar pointed out that Eain Yow had achieved the same feat four years ago in Hangzhou, where he also won gold. "Four years ago in Hangzhou, the gold went to Eain Yow.

Today, he has repeated that same success," Anwar stated proudly. The Kuala Lumpur-born player secured his second consecutive gold medal after defeating India’s Abhay Singh in the final at Nagoya Kinjofuto Arena. The victory also earned Eain Yow an early ticket to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. This marks Malaysia's fifth gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Games, following two in karate and one each in e-sports and sepak takraw.
