Reply from FAS with regards to the Letter Sent

We got a reply from Mr Nordin after a few days. Here goes....

Dear Mr Kong,

Thank you for the email dated 13 January 2012, and I appreciate your feedback on our appointments of S.League CEO and Deputy CEO.

I would like to assure our fans, including you, that the shortlisted candidates went through a rigorous selection process which included several rounds of interviews conducted by a panel comprising experienced personnel in the sporting fraternity, including A/P Ho Peng Kee, Ms Jessie Phua and Mr Lim Teck Yin.

In line with our longstanding practice, we subsequently performed due diligence on the prospective CEO and Deputy CEO candidates.

We eventually appointed Mr Lim Chin and Mr Johan Gouttefangeas as we are confident that they possess the required skill sets and abilities which will help us achieve our desired goals including the successful implementation of new initiatives in the upcoming season.

I am pleased to share with you that the club chairmen have also, in general, expressed their support and confidence in the new management team. Going forward, we are confident that Mr Lim Chin and Mr Johan Gouttefangeas will work closely and harmoniously with the respective clubs as we strive to build on the success of the S.League.

On behalf of the Football Association of Singapore and the S.League, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your support of the S.League. We hope that you will continue to do so, and let us work cohesively as a united family to bring Singapore football forward.

Thank You.

Yours Sincerely, 

 
Zainudin Nordin
President, Football Association of Singapore
