Tan Ching Teck, a senior taekwondo member, examiner and international referee, fought hard for his life after he met with a road accident two weeks ago. He lost it on 1 July 2008.
Ching Teck had played a role in the development of taekwondo in Singapore and also the progress of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation. As an examiner and international referee, he was known for his firmness and fairness. While the taekwondo fraternity had lost a responsible official and good friend, Ching Teck’s students had lost an outstanding instructor.
We, at the Federation, send our condolences to his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them in their terribly difficult time. We want the family to know that they are not alone in their sadness and grief.
Taekwondo members and friends of Ching Teck are urged to help the family cope with the medical and funeral expenses. Contributions to the family can be made through the Federation.
The wake is at Blk 833, Tampines Street 83. We understand that the cortege will leave the block on Saturday afternoon.
Please contact Jolene or Rosalind if you need any clarification. For more information, you may visit http://tanchingtecklegacyfund.blogspot.com/.
Tan Ching Teck, a senior taekwondo member, examiner and instructor, met with a serious road accident more than a week ago. He has been fighting for his life since his admission to the Intensive Care Unit of the Singapore General Hospital.
The fateful and unfortunate event has taken a heavy toll, emotionally and financially, on his family. Ching Teck’s only son, Tan Kheng Juan, who is also a taekwondo member and instructor, is finding the situation overwhelming. He is trying very hard to be strong for the family.
During this challenging time for Ching Teck and his family, we would like to appeal to all members of the taekwondo fraternity to rally round to help them.
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation is passing the hat around. If you wish to contribute to help the family defray the mounting medical bill, you may do so through the Secretariat.
If you require more clarification, please contact Jolene, Theresa or Rosalind at 63451491.

“Players deserve the best referee.”
That was what the participants had in mind when they attended the 37th Annual Referee Seminar & Assessment held on 22 June 2008 at the National Training Centre.
The event, which attracted 66 participants, saw them listening intently to the lectures and giving of their best in the practical session. Their conduct augured well for the various competitions that would be held after the seminar. These included the PA-STF Championships in July 2008 and the National Championships in August 2008.
The following participants successfully completed the seminar.
Dr Lee Dai Soon, President of the Asian Taekwondo Union (ATU), appointed Mr Milan Kwee, President of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF), as an Executive Council member of the ATU with effect from May 2008.
The appointment was made in accordance with the powers vested in Dr Lee during the General Assembly in April 2008.
His appointment has brought honour to Singapore. What’s more, the appointment is an affirmation of Mr Kwee’s experiences and abilities not only to contribute to the development of taekwondo in Singapore but also the Asian region.
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) 34th Anniversary Dinner was meant to be a quiet, simple, no-frills event for sponsors, well-wishers, volunteers and officials and key members of the organizations. But it did not turn out that way.
The event was grand, lively and lots more. It was indeed a memorable one for all who had the privilege to be there. Many of those present had already registered their interest to attend the next anniversary function organized by the STF.
Here is a peek at what happened that the evening.
The event was graced by distinguished personages whom the Federation President, Mr Milan Kwee, identified in his speech as silent heroes of the organisation. They included the following.
Mr Kwee also revealed that he managed to secure two corporate sponsors for the matching grant offered by the Singapore Sports Council.
Certificates of appreciation and awards were presented. All the distinguished personages mentioned above received the certificates of appreciation. The following are the other recipients.
Certificate of Appreciation (for the support, contribution and guidance of the organisation in its propagation of the sport)
Special Recognition Award (for going the extra mile for the organisation)
Certificate of Recognition (for clubs which have actively supported the programmes of the organisation)
Certificate of Recognition (for clubs which have successful propagated taekwondo in Singapore)
Best Player Award (for disciplined athletes who have achieved and displayed sportsmanship)
The Assisi Hospice took the opportunity to present the STF the “Star of Hope” trophy in recognition of its belief in the Assisi Taekwondo Warriors and making their stars shine brightly.
Mr Kwee received the trophy on behalf of the STF from Sister Linda Sim.
After the formalities, dinner was served. Apparently food was the last thing in the crowd’s mind.
They went wild participating in the various party games.
Then they were awed by the electrifying performances by the National Demonstration Team.
The skit put up by the team was hilarious.
“Awesome”, “fantastic”, “wonderful”, “incredible” and other superlatives were used by those present to describe the event. What a great night!
