Haha, sounds exactly like the same tactic and approach from before. you don't seem to understand. The world is watching. This is giving Malaysia a bad name. Do you think a country is gonna sit down and do nothing when one of it's own is making the country look like a bunch of crooks ? You see, just like in modern badminton.... the drift in the hall makes a big impact on the outcome of the match. Just like the country is ready to drift it's boot up someones @xx is they don;t know what's good for them. The world is watching and kindergarden corporate board room tactics do not apply. wake up and smell the coffee. TBBMBB(N)

The whole lot at BWF should resign, not offer themsleves for reelection and an EGM held to elect NEW officeholders. That's if they have Badminton's interest at heart. MAS government should as a goodwill gesture set up an international badminton academy in Malaysia under BWF control conditional on BWF house being restored to order first (unsubtle hint). The BWF President has stepped aside, the Dep P should also step aside whilst an independent committee investigates. Ideally independent technocratic officials should also be in place as Council is clearly partisan. IOC might have the clout to insist on this but I expect they won't act in this manner. It cannot be morally right for an interested party still to be in charge whilst serious allegations against him are being investigated. This is the MORAL high ground whatever the legal position allows.
I have to agree. The fact that this moral high ground is not even remotely being observed begs question of what is that fishy smell coming from behind the screens. It just instictively points that something is amist.
The below reports the current status of the Ganga Rao court cae, in case we've been made to think by certain parties before that it was over and done with. Saturday Aug 18 Source : http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/8/18/sports/18631820&sec=sports Suit still pending Reference is made to our report entitled Azalina wants a meeting with Ganga, Punch and Nadzmi (July 29) where it was stated that the High Court dismissed the injunction sought by Badminton World Federation Chief Operating Officer P. Ganga Rao against an internal inquiry. However, it has since been pointed out to us that only the application for an ad interim injunction in relation to the domestic inquiry was disallowed and the remaining action is pending. The suit against the domestic inquiry members still remains. The inaccuracy is regretted.
The BWF trouble Summary to date :- The following I believe are the current issues going on about the BWF. Please do advise correction should there be any error :- 1) BWF HQ at Kuala Lumpur Bid a) alleged misconduct of providing BAM with IBF/BWF inside info to win the Bid b) alleged unkept promises made for the bid. c) alleged conveniently saying that it's not their responsibility that what was promised by them were not kept. 2) Ganga Rao sacking a) about the dismissal of Ganga Rao. Still going on in court 3) Deputy President and (former?) President issues Did i miss anything?
Are you sure? Is Malaysia so polarized racially? If it were 2 Malaysian Chinese (or 1 Malaysian Malay and 1 Malaysian Chinese and 1 Malaysian Indian and 1 Malaysian Aborogine and 1 Malaysian Filipino and etc...) wouldn't they still might be Ganga's men??? And are you accusing Mr Ganga Rao of organizing that banner???? Are you stepping into the boundary of defaming Ganga Rao's reputation on electronic media??? Would this mean he can drag you in court, just like what's been said about other members comenting on the threads issue? The only difference here is, other members are commenting and giving views on issues published in the the media already. Your's seem like an accusation out of no where. Nobody before you even mentioned any connection about the banner and Ganga Rao. Would you like to change your post?
Yes, you missed out being elected to the two special committees to investigate and look into these. Just kidding. I believe today's local papers in Malaysia have a more neutral and balanced account of what is going on. Perhaps some of you can reproduce today's articles from the Malay Mail and the New Straits Times.
I think you are a bit harsh on the BWF and insulting the multinational Council. BTW do you know that the Greek Soccer Federation was banned by FIFA for the sole reason that the government of Greece interfered with their country's soccer federation?
That's an interesting fact. The comparison may be apple and oranges though and subject to the situation. Even still, Malaysia may risk that if that is deemed as a lesser of 2 evils. In the end, it's up to them to decide, as according to the news, our own Prime Minister 'is not amused'. TBBMBB(N)
It may look out of place but the two (Indians?) expressed their democratic right. It is hard to prove if they are Ganga's men or not but that has no relevance. You can put up or wave any banner you like provided it doesn't breach the law of the land. That is democracy.
Thank you Eepak, pleased to revise as follows :- 1) BWF HQ at Kuala Lumpur Bid a) alleged misconduct of providing BAM with IBF/BWF inside info to win the Bid b) alleged unkept promises made for the bid. c) alleged conveniently saying that it's not their responsibility that what was promised by them were not kept. 2) Ganga Rao sacking a) about the dismissal of Ganga Rao. Still going on in court 3) Deputy President and (former?) President issues 4) Deputy President assuming role of COO (unpresidented???) and in power alongside a running investigastion (Is there actually an investigation going on??)
jug8man, how about reproducing the two papers articles for us here? We can then at least evaluate your 'master list' better. As it stands we have incomplete information.
hahaha, yes, If they get too annoyed......... I'm sure they can do much worst 'without interfering with BAM or BWF'. the same tactic can be applied :- Any issues between the government and Mr Punch can be deemed as a 'Government and citizen issue' and not Government and BAM or BWF issue. Things a government can do to a citizen :- 1) Strip any title they have 2) Let the Tax Department to target the individual and run massive audits on every biz & asset own 3) exile the individual to another state 4) exile the individual from the country (who knows) 5) bar entry into the country from all international entry point 6) basically make your life a living hell and anything else a holywood movie scriptwriter can think off TBBMBB(N)
I think this is a non-starter and may even get badminton, including all players from the Malaysian national squad, banned from the Olympics. Look no further than the case of the Greek Soccer Federation.
