    International career

    He has been called up to Malaysia national football team in 2010 & 2015. [4] He made his debut for Malaysia against Yemen on 27 February 2010. [5]

    Yong was also playing for the Malaysia U-23 team. He was called up to the SEA Games U-23 squad in October 2011 after impressive performance in Malaysia Cup. He made his first appearances against Nepal and manage to score one goal. Yong has also shown a tremendous performance on his first appearance in the SEA Games helping the Malaysia national team to wins 4–1 against Cambodia through one assist.

    Style of play

    At the start of his career, Yong plays as a midfielder and occasionally as a striker at Kuala Lumpur, FELDA United and Perak. When he transferred to Penang, he was converted as centre-back by Coach K. Devan, due to his height, aggressiveness, speed and mainly lack of choice of centre back players in the squad at the time due to injuries. He adapted the position so well that he becomes the first choice centre-back for Penang. [6]

    In 2015 Malaysia Premier League, under coaching of Jacksen F. Tiago, Yong was converted to right-back. Due to his exceptional stamina, Yong is able to provide crosses upfield and defend effectively against an opponent's attack down the flanks. Which make him the most appearances player for Penang FA in 2015 and thus help the team to be promoted to 2016 Malaysia Super League.
