The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) would like to congratulate Ms Lim Hui Hsien for attaining the qualification of 3rd Class International Kyorugi Referee at the 128th International Kyorugi Referee Seminar conducted by World Taekwondo that was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

“Becoming an international referee is a journey that requires more than just knowledge of the rules. It requires courage, confidence, and the ability to lead with integrity.” (Lim Hui Hsien)

It is our hope more Singapore national referees will come forward to be International Referees and contribute to the promotion and development of taekwondo.

Congratulations once again to Ms Lim and we wish her all the best!

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) is the Singapore national governing body for Taekwondo. In 2024, the STF initiated the promotion and development of Virtual Taekwondo, which is strongly advocated by the World Taekwondo (WT).

The STF hosted the first World Taekwondo Virtual Championships in Singapore in November 2024. Our Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo athletes performed excellently at this inaugural world championships with a historic medal haul of nine (9) medals comprising four (4) golds, four (4) silvers and one (1) bronze under the leadership of STF Virtual Taekwondo Committee (VTKD Committee) and guidance of STF Board.

With this accomplishment, the STF VTKD Committee is gearing towards enabling our athletes to continue performing well at the next Major Games and Virtual Taekwondo Championships.

The STF is seeking a committed individual who is passionate and experienced about Virtual Taekwondo to assume the role of national trainer for the STF 2025 Virtual Taekwondo National Development Squad (NDS).

This job may require an enhanced background check and written reference(s) in relation to safeguarding/suitability to work with children and youth, as well as continual professional development. Only shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview.
