The demonstration workshop has been postponed to Sunday 3 January 2010. The time and venue remain unchanged – that is, from 6.00pm to 9.00pm at the STF National Training Centre in Lorong Limau.
We would like to apologize to all those who have registered for the workshop for the last minute postponement.
The main conductor of the workshop, Mr Lim Hyun, twisted his ankle and could not demonstrate some of the moves he wished to teach. He rejected our suggestion of getting his assistant to do the demonstration so that the workshop could proceed as scheduled. Being a responsible instructor, he wanted the best for the participants.
In view of the postponement, those who are interested in learning the secrets of high flying stunts may still register for the workshop.

3 players representing Singapore in the Laos SEA Games taekwondo event returned with 2 bronze medals.
Carrying Singapore flag at the event held from 9 to 12 December 2009, Jason Tan, Lanetar Quek and Jacqueline Quek, did their best to better the results of the last two SEA Games in which Singapore had nothing to show for their efforts. It was not easy for them. They had to overcome intimidation from the other countries which fielded large teams for the competition. The vociferous battle cries of the other teams were demoralizing for the depleted Singapore team.
The three players felt sad for their other teammates who could not get the nod from the Singapore National Olympic Council selectors although all the nominated players met the selection criteria approved by the Ministry of Community, Youth and the Sport.
What’s more, it was hard for them to understand the need to have the potential to win medals before being sent to a friendship Games. If that was important, then all the weak countries should stay at home too.
Never mind the distractions, Jason and Jacqueline fought well to return with a bronze medal each. Lanetar also gave her all but played the wrong game. For the mistake, she was denied the chance of going into the medal match.
Said Coach Wong Liang Ming: “The players did their best. It was our bad fortune that we could not sent more players. If we could I am sure we could get more medals, at least one with different color.”
The other Singapore taekwondo officials at the Games were proud of the performances of the players. They were there to assist the organizers in various roles. Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, was a Competition Supervisory Board member, Mr Lim Teong Chin, STF General Manager, was the Chief Referee and Mr Lee Thiam Poh, STF Tournament Chairman, was one of the referees.
All in all it was a good outing for Singapore taekwondo players.
