Wong was the first
Sabahan to represent Malaysia in 1971. In 1974, He went Down Under to join
Hakoah Sydney, the Australian club, at the invitation of former Malaysian head coach,
Dave MacLaren. He played professionally for the club in
New South Wales Premier League for two years. Wong is well-known for his physical and finishing touch. His partnership with
Hassan Sani produced many memorable goals for Sabah and Malaysia. The most memorable one was in the
1980 Olympic games qualification. In the qualification, Malaysia won the play-off against
South Korea with a 2–1 score at the
Merdeka Stadium. Wong himself scored the winning goal off a pass from Hassan. Unfortunately, Malaysia did not participate after joining the
US-led boycott against the
Soviet Union for
its role in supporting the
Democratic Republic of Afghanistan against the
Islamic Unity of Afghanistan Mujahideen. Wong also appeared for Malaysia in six
qualifying matches of the
FIFA World Cup. == Further career ==
