  1. Professionalism
  2. Safety and protection
  3. Determination to embrace the grind

The 40-year-old footballer also said that even though the Singapore team wasn’t “doing any favours” for Thailand and China, he was determined to do his job and give his best.

Shot to fame after performance against Thailand

Hassan shot to fame after the Lions’ World Cup Qualifier match against Thailand.

 

Even though the Singapore national team conceded three goals against their Thai counterparts, Hassan’s superb effort in preventing a fourth goal indirectly sent China to the next round of qualifiers.

Following the match, Chinese fans flocked to Hassan’s nasi padang stall in Tampines. Some even sent donations through his stall’s QR code.

Hassan has since issued a statement urging fans to stop donating money. He also stated his intent to donate the proceeds he received.
