SINGAPORE — May 17, 2026 — In a groundbreaking move for the local sporting landscape, Eastside Arm Wrestling today officially announced the launch of its new Youth Empowerment Program.

The Youth Empowerment Program is designed to provide fully sponsored memberships to young individuals, with a specific focus on supporting youths from less privileged backgrounds. Through this initiative, selected participants will receive professional guidance in the sport of arm wrestling, mentorship from seasoned athletes, and a structured environment to channel their energy into constructive community building.


To commemorate the launch, Eastside Arm Wrestling hosted a special Sponsors’ Appreciation function today at their training facility. The event served to introduce the program's visionary benefactors to the club members and allowed them to share their shared aspirations for the future of the sport.


The historic program is made possible through the generous backing of two main corporate sponsors:

  • Attractionz Consultancy, represented by CEO Mr. Alex Ong. Driven by a personal connection to the club as the father of dedicated Eastside member, Sean Ong, Mr. Ong highlighted the profound impact that the sport's discipline and camaraderie can have on character development in young people.

  • RENUGLASS, represented by Managing Director Mr. Roy Lloret. As a veteran puller of the Singaporean arm wrestling community, Mr. Lloret expressed his enduring passion for the sport and his commitment to ensuring its sustainable growth by investing in supporting the next generation of arm wrestling talents.

I hope that one day, Singapore will have its own "Devon Larratt." — Mr. Alex Ong, CEO, Attractionz Consultancy

I believe this sport deserves so much more recognition than it currently has. — Mr. Lloret, Managing Director, RENUGLASS

"We are incredibly grateful to both Mr. Ong and Mr. Lloret for supporting a sport which, in my opinion, been overlooked by much of society for a long time," said Mr. Gregory Yeo, Managing Partner of Eastside Arm Wrestling. "Arm wrestling is more than just physical strength; it teaches resilience, respect, and community responsibilities. With the incredible backing of Attractionz Consultancy and RENUGLASS, we can now break down financial barriers and offer a constructive, empowering outlet for youth who need it most."


During the appreciation function, both Mr. Ong and Mr. Lloret addressed the club, sharing their collective vision of elevating Singaporean arm wrestling to new heights and fostering a more inclusive, supportive sporting community.
