About Bok Man Kim


Wong Liang Ming - Singapore's Greatest Player
Without a doubt Wong Liang Ming is perhaps the greatest Taekwondo player
ever produced in the country of Singapore.  From 1979 to 2001 she dominated
the female division of almost every major Taekwondo event held in Asia. Then
in 2000 she captured the Gold medal at the 1st Women's Open International
Taekwondo Championships held in Los Angeles, California, USA.  Below is a
list of this female's amazing competetive history. While she is extremely proud
of her accomplishments, her greatest joys come from her son Jeremy Lim who
simply calls her "MUM",  and her husband Lim Teong Chin who is the highest
ranked Blackbelt (8th Degree) in Singapore, author of six books, and fmr. head
coach of the Singapore National Team.
