It is with the deepest sadness that the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) records the recent demise of Ms Wendy Wiluan, the beloved sister of Mr Kris Wiluan, Asean Taekwondo Federation President and STF Patron.
Key officials of the STF visited the bereaved family and offered their comfort and condolences.
While the family mourned their loss, the STF wished them strength in their bereavement.
For taekwondo competitions, clubs are allowed to print their club names on the uniforms. Before doing that, clubs are requested to note the following guidelines.
Club name must be printed in BLACK on the back, below the belt, of the uniform tops. It should not be larger than 28cm x 8cm (uniforms for adults) and 28cm x 5cm (uniforms for children).
The rest of the uniform design should conform to the uniform code.
Basically, the club name should not be ‘louder’ than the STF wordings. Therefore, club name in huge font size or in colors other than black will not be allowed.
Clubs, which find difficulties in understanding the guidelines, are advised to submit their name design and font size to the STF for clearance before printing.
Mr Rocky Go and his members at Bishan CC volunteered their services to help out in the organizing of the National Day Observation Ceremony. They distributed national flags and song sheets to residents who attended the event.
On top of that they renewed their pledge of allegiance to the country. They have shown that taekwondo members are proud Singaporeans too.
The hard work put in by the national demonstration team preparing for a performance at the launching of the Singapore Youth Olympic Festival on 14 August 2011 was well worth it.
Their scintillating show of acrobatic skills and taekwondo expertise drew resounding applause from the crowd including top sports personages including Mr Ng Ser Miang, Vice-President of the International Olympic Committee and Dr Tan Eng Liang, Vice-President of the Singapore National Olympic Council.
The guest of honor for the event, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, was also visibly impressed with the discipline and stunts displayed by the team. He congratulated the performers at the end of the show time and obliged them with a group picture.
To those who were at the event, the taekwondo performances were indeed a feast for the eyes and not for those with weak hearts. The fifteen-minute non-stop action-packed show was thrilling and, of course, at times heart-stopping.
Here are some action shots of the great demonstration for your viewing pleasure.
