SINGAPORE – On the sparring mats, he is coolness personified. On the stage, silat fighter Sheik Farhan Sheik Alau’ddin displayed the same ice-cool composure even as he picked up his first Sportsman of the Year gong at the Singapore Sports Awards at Orchard Hotel on Wednesday.
While he was happy to have won the award, he was also philosophical, saying that if the voters “think you deserve it, then you deserve it”. While it was Farhan’s first time winning the accolade, table tennis legend Feng Tianwei claimed the Sportswoman of the Year award for the fourth time, calling it her “most meaningful one yet”. She had also won in 2010, 2013 and 2018.
It was a sweet swansong for Feng at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, where she claimed three gold medals to cap an illustrious career. Young bowler Colleen Pee, 18, was named Sportsgirl of the Year for the first time while kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder, 16, won the Sportsboy of the Year award for the second straight year.
