The International Sepak Takraw Federation (Istaf) announced on Nov 28 that it has terminated Perses' membership, following an executive committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 4.
The statement cited "grave misconduct within Perses' leadership".
The decision means that Singapore's athletes will be barred from competing at the world and Asian championships, major Games and tournaments sanctioned by Istaf and its Asian counterpart.
The Republic's sepak takraw teams had featured at May's SEA Games in Cambodia - where the men's regu team claimed a jointbronze - and the Asian Games in Hangzhou in September.
Istaf also said that Perses president Nasri Haron and secretary general Zahid Abdul Aziz received a 12-year and seven-year suspension respectively from the Asian Sepak Takraw Federation (Astaf).
The Straits Times understands that the duration of their bans had been extended by two years from a ruling on misconduct charges in November 2022 as they did not pay for reimbursement for previous disciplinary proceedings.
In a Facebook post on Oct 15, Perses announced its elected board members for the 2023-2027 term which included the re-election of Nasri as president and Zahid as secretary general.
