The 22-year-old, a member of the Singapore Management University's Sailing Club, drowned last July during training.
His father, an Indonesian who manages a car firm and is based in Brunei, said he hoped his son's death would be a reminder to all 'not to take it for granted that accidents won't happen'.
'We have lost our son; it's difficult for us to accept. We don't want such incidents to happen to other parents,' he said. He added that with the club's membership at 60 and climbing, it was essential that students and parents are aware of the necessary safety precautions.
While the inquiry has given the father some answers, one question still lingers in his mind. Could rescue operations have been quicker and more effective had the keelboat his son was sailing in been equipped with an engine? The boat's engine was under repair then.
Six months after the young man's death, the family's wounds have barely healed.
His father still carries in his wallet a tattered business card belonging to his son when he was chief editor of Prism, the newsletter of SMU's School of Information Systems. He also keeps a folder containing his son's photos and a copy of the newsletter. There is a also doodle of a sailboat he made in his notebook.
In between sobs, the youth's 48-year-old mother, Madam Regina Chatelia Jap, said: 'He had such a spirit of excellence. He wouldn't tell us what he was doing until he had achieved his goal. Then he would show it to us.'
The couple had been planning to move to Singapore eventually to be with their son and daughter Hannah, 20.
The close-knit family always kept in touch via phone and online chats.
'We will come and live here this year so I can be close to both my children,' said Madam Jap. The family chose to scatter the young man's ashes here as he 'loved Singapore and loved sailing'.
His father also told The Straits Times that the SMU Sailing Club had set up an award in memory of his son.
Called the Levin Angsana Sailing Award, it will be given to a student who displays 'a positive attitude, a high level of initiative and is respected by their peers' - attributes that the young sailor embodied.
The annual award's inaugural nomination will be given out at the university's Patron's Day celebrations next month.
