Singapore's Olympic swimming champion Joseph Schooling has apologised to Malaysia after he raised hackles by promising to "teach them a thing or two" at the Southeast Asian Games.
The 22-year-old said he was "really sorry" for his unguarded comments, which made him a target for Malaysian fans. He had earlier insisted the remarks were taken out of context. "If I offended anyone, I do apologise... that wasn't my intention," the 100m butterfly Olympic gold-medallist said after arriving for the regional Games in Kuala Lumpur. "I'm really sorry for my comments and I definitely didn't mean it that way."
