PETALING JAYA: Rachel Yeoh is out of next month’s Singapore SEA Games – no thanks to some bungling Malaysian Gymnastics Federation (MGF) officials.

Although the 17-year-old Rachel competed in the last of the three selection trials to make the team on merit last Sunday, her name was mistakenly left out in the final list that was submitted to the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM).
