General
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
In March 2022 he began working as technical director for water polo with the Singapore Swimming Association. He combined the role with his job as head coach of the men's national team. "I have been able to work well with the men's national team and good progress has been made. This is possible with the help of the management as well as the water polo community, even though COVID-19 has limited me from doing much more than I hoped to. Since last year [2021], all of us at Singapore water polo have spent a lot of time strengthening our plans to enhance water polo in Singapore as a whole. I believe that together with the swimming and water polo community, we can build a unique and strong water polo development system that cannot be imitated by any other country."
