Recently I attended the memorial service of Late GM Chen Yu-he, I met with a senior. He was asking me how come I didn’t write about one incident that happened within the wushu community in SWDLF? I replied that I heard nothing.
Yesterday during the SLTET 44th anni, I met up with some more senior and I probe a little about it. I got a shocking news!
It has been more then a week. There is no direct comment from Singapore Wushu Dragon and Lion Dance Federation (SWDLF) on the issues and concern raise by many with regards to Mr Lee (43) being noticed by SWDLF to re-take his Wushu Coaching Certificate (news from OMY.sg)
Following that, Mr Lee presented a letter to SWDLF via SgWutan and 2 news was release from ZaoBao.com ( source 1 / source 2 ).
Seriously, what is the role of SWDLF when it comes to certifying coaches, either Wushu, Dragon or Lion Dance? Do we really need to be certified by SWDLF in order to provide such coaching?
Remember the case of the Master being requested to retake the SWDLF Trainer Test (read it HERE [Chinese Text]).
Personally, I felt that the letter should be set-forth freely as it is the voice of Mr Lee, addressing issue, which to him is a form of disrespect.
Thanks to our co-founding member, LC, who had spoken to Mr Lee and thus this letter…
I seriously hope Mr Lee’s voice can be heard or at least spread out within the community and hopefully, some higher authority will step into and justify the behaviour from SWDLF!
Don’t worry much, I’m not pointing figure at you reading my post. I’m actually referring to the National Sports Association (NSA) that is the highest authority for the promotion of Wushu Sports in Singapore, which include wushu, lion dance, dragon dance, qigong, etc. etc… Objectives in unifying various wushu organizations of different schools; to promote wushu, lion dance, dragon dance and qigong; to promote physical fitness and patriotism among Singaporeans; and to develop the martial spirit.
From 2005 till now, I see many pugilistic community start to produce attractive web sites, regardless in static, dynamic or hybrid. Local Wushu, Dragon and Lion Dance is definitely getting into the cyber space.
In Chinese Martial Arts, many practitioner look for ways or methods to improved their skills and techniques in order to gain an edge over others. In this current era, especially in Singapore, where time of peace and harmony surround us, fighting skills or techniques had very much been geared into sporting combat, rather then real life encounters.
With technologies evolving everyday, local pugilistic organisation is also ridding on to the world wide web technology to gain an edge over others.
