Tong Kit Siong is a Bruneian male karateka.
At the 2002 Asian Games Siong won the bronze medal in the men's kumite under-75 kg category, topping the repechage stage ahead of fellow bronze medallist Kim Byung-chul of South Korea.[1] [2] This made him the first ever individual men's medallist for Brunei at the Asian Games and only the fourth medallist in the country's history.[3] He attempted to qualify at the 2006 Asian Games, but ultimately did not compete.[4]
He won the second international medal of his career at the 2005 Southeast Asian Games. Initially third placed, he was upgraded to the silver medal after Malaysia's runner-up Rayner Kin Sion was disqualified for doping. This gave Brunei three silver medallists in the sport, alongside HJ Johari and Sim Chung Hlang in the lower weight categories.[5] For his efforts, Siong was awarded a US$3000 prize by Bruneian officials for excellence in sport.[6]
