KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim congratulated national squash players Ng Eain Yow and S. Sivasangari after both defended their Asian Games singles titles in Aichi-Nagoya today.
On today's Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim praised Malaysian squash players Ng Eain Yow and S. Sivasangari for their historic double gold victories. The two athletes defended their singles titles at the previous 2022 Hangzhou Games, now repeating that success four years later. Anwar expressed his admiration for both players on social media platform X, highlighting their achievement of securing spots at the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Four years ago, the gold medals were won by the same duo, and now they have not only crowned themselves champions again but also set a new milestone by guaranteeing their Olympic participation, which will see squash make its Olympic debut. Anwar commended Ng Eain Yow, currently ranked World No. 18, for his dominant win over India's Abhay Singh 11-9, 11-5, 11-5, while Sivasangari, ranked World No. 5, triumphed over India's Anahat Singh 11-4, 11-4, 11-7.
