KUALA LUMPUR: Hockey legend S. Balasingam, who played in two Olympics Games – in Munich in 1972 and Montreal in 1976 – and the great 1975 World Cup squad, has died of colon cancer. The Ipoh-born star was 72.
Sadly, none of his teammate from the class of 1968-1976 could attend his funeral and cremation yesterday, due to the movement control order over the Covid-19 pandemic.
