Student’s Tea with Edwin Phua

Student’s Tea with Mr Edwin Phua
Host: IG2 & Yong Khai

Edwin is a mahjong enthusiast, and is also a mahjong trainer with the People’s Association (PA). His favoured ruleset to play with is Mahjong Competition Rules (MCR), but he plays Singapore Style and Japanese (riichi) mahjong as well. He has taken part in several international mahjong tournaments around the world since 2010. More recently, he has been more heavily involved in the promotion of mahjong as a mind sport, both in Singapore and internationally.

Highlights:

Edwin will be sharing about his experiences in overseas tournaments, as well as the efforts (and challenges) faced in the promotion of mahjong as a mindsport, both in Singapore and overseas. He will discuss about the ways to dispel the common association of mahjong with gambling.
