ABOUT
Susanah Sing Mei Ng
Susanah read law at the University of Sydney, Australia, graduating with a double degree in Commerce (double major in Accounting) and in Law. In October 2011, she was admitted as an advocate and solicitor of the High Court in Malaya. She commenced her legal career at one of the largest firms in Malaysia before her passion for sports law led her to further her studies at Instituto Superior de Derecho y Economía, Madrid, where she graduated with a Masters in International Sports Law.
Susanah's experience includes a stint at UK Sport, London and at the Asian Football Confederation as a legal intern before she joined Kitching Sports, the first specialist international sports regulation and business firm in the Asia-Pacific region, as a Senior Consultant in February 2018. Susanah was privileged to learn under James Kitching, a well-known and respected figure in the football industry. Susanah has appeared as co-counsel before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne and the AFC Disciplinary & Ethics Committee in Malaysia. She has advised various international and local clients on matters relating to international sporting disputes, anti-doping, ethics, and regulatory framework.
In February 2019, the Malaysian Weightlifting Federation appointed Susanah as an executive board member and legal advisor. In October 2019, the International Ice Hockey Federation appointed Susanah as a pro bono counsel. Susanah has also provided legal support to the Doping Panel and the Ethics Panel of the Badminton World Federation in cases relating to doping and match fixing and currently is the Legal Secretary to the Independent Hearing Panel of the BWF. In November 2021, Susanah was appointed as the Deputy Chairperson to the Olympic Council of Malaysia Legal Advisory, Rules and Discipline Committee.

Susanah's passion in sports is not limited to its legal aspects. She is an avid runner, cyclist, weightlifter, and boxer. In spite of a knee injury that required two surgeries in 2016 and 2017, Susanah returned to the runners' scene with a vengeance in 2018 and has completed various ultramarathons since then.
