Singaporean Coach in Japan???

saw the above information online. check out the highlighted portion. singapore's ex-national footballer is a coach in japan? my immediate reaction is that this must be a typo error. abdullah noor may be a good coach, but i really cannot imagine football powerhouse japan getting someone from singapore to coach their best teenage players.

did a quick research online, could neither verify nor dispute the information. if its really accurate, then i must really apologise to coach for doubting his ability, and at the same time, congratulate him on doing singapore proud.
