Remy Ong summoned to meeting with Singapore Bowling Federation

Remy Ong has been summoned by the Singapore Bowling Federation (SBF) to a meeting after he allegedly killed a stray dog in a hit-and-run accident.

The 33-year-old national bowler has not given an account of what happened to SBF as he had left to compete in Dubai and Doha after the accident happened on Feb 19.

The federation needed to know what is going on as Ong is a member of their team and also a public face, the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson did not say whether the meeting would lead to any disciplinary action taken against Ong, who is also a coach on SBF's panel of national coaches.

The bowler said that he had not been notified of any such meeting and that he is waiting for the police to get back to him on the case as it is still under investigation.

Ong's black Porsche Boxster allegedly hit a stray dog outside the National Service Resort and Country Club while he was exiting the club.

He allegedly drove off after the accident.

Under the Road Traffic Act, anyone involved in a hit-and-run accident can be fined up to $3,000 or jailed up to a year.

This is applicable even if the victim is an animal.

Investigations into the case are ongoing.
