Member of Parliament Poh Li San has been re-elected unopposed as President of the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA), securing another term at the Association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 24 August at the Toa Payoh Central Community Club.
Poh, who was first elected STTA President in 2022, will continue to lead the Association as it “builds on the progress made in recent years” and “looks ahead to the continued development of table tennis in Singapore”, said a statement from the STTA.
The AGM also saw the election of a 12-member Management Committee – reduced from 14 members in accordance with STTA’s latest Constitution.
The Management Committee will comprise 13 members in total, with the STTA Athlete’s Commission Chairperson to join the Committee following the Commission’s election on 31 August 2026.
Joining the Management Committee is former national paddler and Youth Olympic Games silver medallist Isabelle Li, who made history at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore in 2010.
A successful junior and senior international player, Isabelle enjoyed a distinguished competitive career before retiring from the sport.
“Her experience as a former national athlete will bring valuable insight and perspective to the Management Committee as STTA continues to develop the sport at all levels”, said the STTA in its release.
Said Poh, “I am grateful for the support from members and to have the privilege to continue my service at STTA as President.
“I would like to thank the STTA Management Committee, our coaches, athletes, staff, partners and supporters for their dedication and contributions to Singapore table tennis.
“I am also pleased to welcome the new Management Committee, including Isabelle Li, who brings with her valuable experience as a former national athlete and Youth Olympian.
“Having former athletes contribute to the leadership of our Association is important as we continue to strengthen the pathway for our young players and national teams.”
