2007: The last fallout
In 2007, Sensei Harry Ng, Chief Instructor of Aikikai (Singapore) - due to a disagreement with the current Board of Directors - separated to form Shoshin Aikikai Singapore at Ceylon Sports Club, 101 Balestier Road.
NUS Aikido, a dojo belonging to Aikikai (Singapore), also left to become a member club of Shoshin Aikikai.

After 20 years since its official recognition in 1987, the original 5 founding members of Aikikai (Singapore) have left to form their own dojo.

At this point, there is no central association governing all Aikido dojos in Singapore. Each dojo has their own contact/technical advisor in Aikikai Foundation - Hombu dojo (Japan), regarding grading matters and international events.
Due to Aikikai Foundation (International) regulations, there can be only one member organization per country. Aikikai (Singapore) continues to be the official delegate for Singapore.
However, Hombu dojo recognizes more than one Aikido organizations in one nation.
