We, the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (“STF”) hereby inform our affiliates and their members that insofar as to the issues between STF and Daniel Tay Xiong Sheng, parties have reached a settlement after mediation at the Singapore Mediation Centre.
Under the terms of the Settlement, the parties have also agreed to now issue a joint statement as follows:
One of the key tenets of Taekwondo (as known to the affiliates and its members) is that of respect and humility.
As such, STF is of the view that going forward, should there be any issues between the affiliates (or its members) with the STF, the proper process would be for the affiliates (or its members) to approach STF formally to resolve any issues, and not to have these issues brought to fore of the public (either through traditional media or social media).
The results of the NCAP (Level 1) Technical Course held on 9, 10, 16, 17 & 23 January 2019 at the STF National Training Centre are attached.
Those participants who are successful are required to complete 3 months (twice a week) or 6 months (once a week) of practical coaching attachment. Trainee coaches can have their choice of schools or clubs approved by the STF for their attachment. They may also apply for the coach pass (L1) at the STF Secretariat.
Form A must be returned to the STF at least two (2) weeks before they start their coaching attachment. Attachment without prior approval of STF will not be accepted.
Form B is for trainee coaches to record their attendance. It must be counter-signed by their respective club officials.
The two forms are available in the ‘Forms’ folder.
On receipt of the completed Form B, the STF will issue certificates to coaches only after having satisfied that the coaches have fulfilled their obligations. Practical attachment must be complete within 2 years of the announcement of the results. After that, the results will be considered null and void.
Please read the following important notes pertaining to the retest.
A retest will be conducted on Friday 12 April 2019 at the Toa Payoh Sports Hall for those who fail either the theory, practical or both components or pledge. Theory retest will begin at 7.00pm followed by practical at 0p8.0m.
