Henry and his friend, eager to play table tennis but unable to find a suitable space within their condominium, stumbled upon an unused area. With determination, they approached the Town Council for assistance.
Taking matters into their own hands, they took responsibility for maintaining and keeping the space clean. As time passed, their table tennis initiative gained traction, and more people started joining in on the fun.

About Henry Ong
Meet your host, Henry Ong, a passionate table tennis player who embarked on a mission to create a thriving table tennis community in Singapore. With determination and the support of his neighbours, Henry established a local table tennis club at 52 Sims Place with a modest budget of $550 in December 2020. What began with a few players quickly grew into multiple groups spanning different locations across Singapore.
Beyond table tennis, the community Henry has cultivated extends its activities to include other sports such as pickleball and badminton. These sports provide accessible and enjoyable options for people of all ages and backgrounds, bringing together a diverse group of individuals who share a common passion for active living.
