Pastry chef Tam Chua Puh admitted yesterday that he took a short cut in last Sunday's marathon, but said he never meant to be the first Singaporean to cross the finishing line.

When the unknown beat SEA Games-bound marathoner Mok Ying Ren to the top spot, it caused a two-hour delay as officials scrambled to check.

Mr Tam, 43, who ran barely 6km of the 42.195km route, told The Straits Times yesterday that he did not mean to cause any trouble. All he wanted was the finisher's T-shirt and medal.

In fact, he also admitted, he had done the same thing in two previous marathons, but was disqualified both years.

He can go and buy as sometimes pple will sell in ebay. Wanna "kheng" also must be tactful mah.

 

Faster than the fastest and regular Singaporean runner abit too much. He din even run a 10km.

 

Got caught then give all kinds of excuses and he contributed a quarter page on ST for his antics.

want to keng also must use brain lah.....

 

Finish any time below 3hr 30 mins will probably put him among top runners in Singapore. Just go tuan somewhere and come in 4 hrs after starting will be safe.

 

But what's the point to have the medal & finishing T when you don't really do the distance?

Maybe after taking a short cut, he waited for a while and starts to run and finish the race thinking that he was the last person seeing no others was running along with him. But he didn't know that he was 7 minutes ahead of the eventual winner ..... [sweatdrop][sweatdrop]

They should just give him a "Finished" tee. He will never be able to take part again.

I feel sad as a Singaporean. This is not a marathon runner. This is a marathon RUINER.....
