Unfortunately for Anhang, in 1993, Banjar Utama which was owned by Pak Budi Surya disbanded but Anhang stayed in Banjarmasin.
At the 1993 National Sports Week in Jakarta he played for South Kalimantan. His next team was Daya Sakti. Then, Ahang received an offer from the Kobatama club Panasia Indosyntec. In his first year 1996, Panasia finished as runner-up. The following two seasons, they won the title.
Ahang was with Panasia until 2003. He then moved to Satria Muda Jakarta where he won the 2004 IBL title.

In 2006 he returned to Bandung, at that time Panasia had changed its name to Garuda Bandung. There he became assistant coach to Kak Amran.
In 2009, Ahang became head coach at Amartha Hangtuah in South Sumatra for the first time, but only for half a season. He later became assistant coach of Stadium Jakarta.

As an executive, Anhang has stressed the need for a competition level below the IBL. “Players from the Student League still need more flight hours before competing in the IBL. For that, a national competition under the IBL is needed to mature them,” he suggested in December 2017.
