He was a member of the [Singapore national team](/source/Singapore_national_football_team) which won the [AFF Championship](/source/ASEAN_Football_Championship) in 1998, 2004 and 2007, captaining the team in the latter two editions. ## Club career ### Home United Aide spent 10 years with [Home United](/source/Home_United) in the [S.League](/source/S.League) since the inaugural season of the S.league in 1996. ### Johor FA In November 2005, Aide joined [Johor FA](/source/Johor_FA) playing in the [Malaysian League](/source/Malaysian_League). #### Loan to Tampines Rovers Aide then went on loan at [Tampines Rovers](/source/Tampines_Rovers) for the 2006 season in Singapore. ### Geylang United Aide moved to [Geylang United](/source/Geylang_United) in 2007. ### Sengkang Punggol In 2009, Aide joined [Sengkang Punggol](/source/Sengkang_Punggol) before retiring shortly. ## Controversies On 26 August 2007, Aide insulted referee Sukhbir Singh, reportedly asking, "How much did you bet on the game?" after his team, Geylang United controversially lost to Home United in a league game by conceding two goals in the final five minutes.[5] Aide was ban five games and a S$2500 fine was imposed on 4 September 2007 by [FAS](/source/Football_Association_of_Singapore). Upon appeal, the FAS reduced his ban to two matches and increased his fine to S$4,000 in November.[6] Because of that incident, he was dropped from the [national team](/source/Singapore_national_football_team) for the game against [UAE](/source/UAE_national_football_team) and missed the World Cup qualifier against [Palestine](/source/Palestine_national_football_team). However, he was recalled into the team pending his appeal on the ban. ## International career Aide made his international debut against [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand_men's_national_football_team) on 21 February 1995.

Milan Junior School](/source/A.C._Milan) which would begin operations in Singapore late 2008 where Aide is a fan of the [Italian Serie A](/source/Serie_A) club, [AC Milan](/source/AC_Milan). ### Sengkang Punggol Aide joined [Sengkang Punggol](/source/Sengkang_Punggol) for the [2009 S.League](/source/2009_S.League) season as a player–assistant coach, in a similar position as [Mirko Grabovac](/source/Mirko_Grabovac) the previous season where head coach [Jörg Steinebrunner](/source/J%C3%B6rg_Steinebrunner) was sacked by the club and Aide was appointed as caretaker coach. ### Courts Young Lions Aide was appointed head coach of [Courts Young Lions](/source/Courts_Young_Lions) in January 2013.[9] The Young Lions recorded their first league victory only in August, finishing wooden spoonist in his maiden season.[10] ### Singapore U-23 With the resignation of [V.

Following Singapore's 1-0 loss to Indonesia at the 2015 SEA Games, Singapore failed to advance into the semi-finals. Aide consequently resigned as coach of the national under-23 football team.[12] ### Geylang International Aide was appointed the technical director of [Geylang International](/source/Geylang_International_FC) in 2016.[13] ## Personal life Aide married Ezreen Taib Zohri on 7 May 2000.
