At the Singapore National Olympic Council Annual General Meeting held on Monday 1 July 2013 at Grand Roxy Mercure Hotel, Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, was re-elected as a Council Member for another term.
Together with Ms Jessie Phua (Singapore Bowling Federation) and Mr Nicholas Fang (Fencing Singapore), Mr Kwee was returned unopposed. It was reflection of the confidence that the other national sports association representatives at the meeting had in him.
With the re-election, Mr Kwee remained the first and only representative from a martial arts organization to sit on the august committee.
The taekwondo community is certainly proud of his achievement.
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation fielded eight players who finished among the top in the Koko Krunch Junior Taekwondo Championships in the Singapore leg for the Grand Finals of the competition.
The event which was staged in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia attracted the best of the best in junior players in Malaysia and Singapore.
Players from Singapore obviously were not overawed by their first overseas experience. All of them justified their participation in the competition by giving their opponents a run for their money. Three of them returned with medals. The gold medal came from Isabel Rivas while the two silver medals were netted by Nichelle Tan Ying Xuan and Tan Shen Zhe.
Said Mr Lee Thiam Poh, the Team Manager: “The players did Singapore proud. Our girls only needed one more gold medal to take the overall female event.”
