His performance also led to being selected for the Singapore Under-21 National Team. [3]

As he was conscripted for National Service in 2010, his professional footballing career came to a standstill. Ang turned out for NFL Division One side, Singapore Armed Forces Sports Association (SAFSA) during his two years as a national serviceman and was the captain of the SAFSA side.
