As he grew up, he also played football, squash, tennis and badminton. He even made it into his secondary school and junior college rugby teams. But he was surprised when he did not qualify for his secondary school\u2019s table tennis team, which prompted him to put his heart and mind into becoming a better table tennis player.<\/p>\n<p>Timothy\u2019s determination and hard work has paid off. To date, he has participated in over a hundred competitions, including the Public Service Inter-Organisational Games, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>International Games for Seafarers, the ASEAN Civil Service Games (ACSG), and the Asia-Pacific Veterans\u2019 Table Tennis Championship (APVTTC). His achievements include a bronze at the inaugural ACSG in Malaysia in 2015, and an APVTTC bronze as part of the Copytron Table Tennis Club\u2019s Mens\u2019 Team (ages 40-49).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Timothy has served as a Volunteer Special Constabulary for 12 years at Ang Mo Kio Police Division, Traffic Police and Training Command.
