Diving career

In 2013, Fong took part in the 2013 Asian Youth Games held in Nanjing and was ranked 7th in the 3 m springboard event. In December, she took part in the 2013 Southeast Asian Games along with her partner Myra Lee in the women's synchronized 3 m springboard event which the duo won the bronze medal.
At the 2015 Southeast Asian Games in Singapore, Fong won a silver medal in the women's synchronized 3 m springboard event with her partner Ashlee Tan. She also participated in the women's 3 m springboard event, which she won herself a bronze medal.
At the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Fong won the gold medal with Ashlee in the women's 3 m synchronized springboard event, even though the duo finished second, as gold-winning diver Ng Yan Yee failed a doping test which resulted in the Malaysian team being stripped of the gold medal. It was Singapore's first diving title at the Games since Sally Lim captured the women's 3 m springboard gold on home soil at the 1973 Games.
At the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in Philippines, Fong and Ashlee won the silver medal in the women's 3 m synchronized springboard event.
At the 2021 Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Fong won a bronze medal in the women's 3 m springboard event. Even though Ashlee and her finished third in the women's synchronized 3 m springboard event, no bronze medal was awarded as only three pairs of divers competed in the event.
