The 3rd edition of the People’s Association-Singapore Taekwondo Federation (PA-STF) Taekwondo Championships was conducted safely and smoothly on 29 July 2012 at Toa Payoh Sports Hall. The kyorugi players produced lots of fast and furious exchanges while the poomsae players displayed some textbook movements with grace and beauty.

The guest of honor for the event, Mr Lim Biow Chuan, Adviser to Mountbatten Grassroots Organizations and Second Adviser to Marine Parade Grassroots Organizations, is an active 4th dan taekwondo blackbelt under STF. He witnessed a demonstration given by the national demonstration team and some selected finals and went on to give away the medals and trophies.

The other important guests who gave away some of the medals were Mr Chia Tze Yee, PA’s Group Director (Engagement Cluster – Interests) and Ms Ang lay Kwang, PA’s Director (Community Sports).

Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, was present throughout the event to ensure that the event went according to plan and to welcome and attend to the VIP guests.

The championships included, among other categories, family competition which encouraged family bonding. The event saw different combinations – father and son; mother and son, father and daughter, etc – competing against one another. It was interesting to note that the standards demonstrated by the family teams are credible.

The team event, which aimed to foster racial cohesiveness, saw teams comprising at least two ethnic groups showing their skills, unity and harmony through their performance to impress the judges. Their regular practices as a team were evident from their outstanding display which resulted in the keen competition.

All in all, it had been a good championship.  

The overall results are as follows.

  • 1st : Tampines North CSC
  • 2nd : Punggol Central CSC
  • 3rd : Thomson CSC
  • 4th : The Jelutung CSC

More results are attached.

Jason Tan’s Contribution

Jason Tan’s Contribution

Jason Tan, arguably Singapore’s top male taekwondo kyorugi exponent, demonstrated his charitable spirit by donating almost 10% of the money he received for his Singapore National Olympic Council Meritorious Awards 2012 to the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF).

Although $300 is not much to STF, it is quite substantial to Jason who is still in school. But the STF is touched by the contribution. As the saying goes, it is the thoughts that count.

Yes, it is indeed as he wishes that his contribution can be used to help any of the other athletes in the training squad.

Jason exemplifies the qualities of a true taekwondo exponent. Despite his achievements which include being a world-ranked player, he remains humble, respectful and selfless.

Thank you, Jason, for being a good role model for taekwondo!

The Kyorugi Referee Refresher Seminar scheduled on Sunday 19 August 2012 has been postponed to Sunday 2 September 2012 as the original date falls on a public holiday, Hari Raya Puasa.

19 August was offered to us by Republic Polytechnic. We did not mind the date as we had planned to have a separate seminar for Muslim referees.

Two days ago, Republic Polytechnic informed us that they discovered that they could not get their staff to assist us with the physical and logistic arrangements. Under the circumstances, we have no choice but to postpone the seminar.

The starting time remains at 9.00am and the other information is unchanged.

The registration fees are as follows.

  • On or before Tuesday 28 August 2012 – $30.00
  • On or before Thursday 30 August 2012 – $40.00
  • On the spot registration – $50.00

The registration form is attached.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to our national referees, especially those who have made special arrangements to be available as earlier scheduled.
