He went on the South Seas tour with Law Yuk-wing and that other famous local swimmer Norman Lee, but the experience gained was not sufficient to enable him to compete successfully against Lawrence, to whom he lost the 50 and 100 yards In the champlonships of 1998,
Before returning to the Colony after that tour, he broke the Chinn National record of the 100 metres: ho negotiated the distance in 1 min. 02 secs, at the All-Singapore Acqun tle meat. At the present moment he is hard at training at the Chung Sing Club for this year's champlon-. ahips and has consistently done the 100 metres in 1.04 sean...
Another sprinter that bears watclt- ing is Ng Tsun-man. He is the most consistent of Chung Sing swindmrs and highly experienced. Ng gives precedence only to Ng Nin in the sprint events, Possessor of a fine style, he is steady and inspiring in relay races.
