Benjamin Teo flew to Vietnam & came back with an injury, and LOTS & LOTS of rich sparring experience.  At this rate of learning, he will be gaining unlimited knowledge for his future advancement in Taekwondo.  Congratulations!

The STF is fully aware that the national referees had played and important role in the competition. Without their hard work and excellent job, the success of the event would not have been possible.

As a token of STF appreciation, souvenir T-shirts will be given to the following referees who had contributed more than 7 hours to the competition.

Koh Poh Ling

Girlene Tan

Eligible referees may collect the T-shirts, personally or through a representative, at the Secretariat from Ms Lanetar Quek.

In view of the limited stock, those who collect the T-shirts early will have a better chance of getting the right sizes.
