On June 14, in the World Cup Qualifying Round 36 match, Singapore lost 1-3 to Thailand. Goalkeeper Sunny put on an outstanding performance with numerous miraculous saves, indirectly aiding China’s advancement to the Round of 18.
Sunny swiftly gained popularity in China as a result, and many Chinese fans showed their support by making donations to his coconut rice business in Singapore. In an interview, Sunny expressed his gratitude, saying, “I’m very thankful for everyone’s support these past few days. It has made me feel the warmth of Chinese football fans.” When asked about how he plans to handle the donations, Sunny revealed that he would donate them to a charitable organization.
When asked if he would consider playing for a Chinese club, Sunny replied, “I’m 40 years old. Why not consider it? Opportunities like this don’t come often. With such strong support from Chinese fans, things like this don’t happen every day. If I think it’s a better choice for me and my family, I will accept the contract.”
Addressing rumors circulating online about him receiving a massive sum of 5.8 million Singapore dollars (approximately 31.1 million RMB) in donations within a day, Sunny jokingly dismissed them, saying, “If I could receive that much money in a day, I’d tear up my contract and stop playing football today.”
