2009 May 10: BWF President Election

[Krisna]

.
Let's be serious here.

Andrew Kam needs to inform us what he intends to do if he is to be elected as the President of BWF.

We need to know his visions, objectives, plans, etc... to promote Badminton worldwide.
.

Actually, Mr. Kam just needs to inform the various national associations who are members of BWF... He does not need to inform us.... We are just fans of badminton with no voting power...

If Andrew Kam become a president and if he concern the peoples that support him in this forum i'm sure he will be glad to share his vision and objective with the supporter in this forum.

BWF also need our support too

Well said Emmanuel .

We are quite sure that many Malaysian BCers know and have contact with Andrew Kam.
We hope that Malaysian BCers will inform Andrew Kam of this thread.

Let's invite Andrew Kam to talk with us in this thread.

Well if we can have this done, ie getting Andrew Kam to tell us his vision for world badminton and how he goes about doing it, BC would have scored a massive feather in its cap!

BAM has to bear in mind that Kam is Malaysia's own son and has all the credentials to be a BWF president.

Moreover, given his position as BAM vice-president, the association must give him total support in the race for the BWF job.

I don't think this should be a good reason of us supporting. Well, diplomatically, they should talking about how is he capable to do his works.
Other factor, leave it first.

Kang is still good but BWF needs to deepen " Marketing dept"..I heard they are hiring someone to make Badminton "COOL"...
BWF did get rid off "some bad apples"....but still many rooms to improve...otherwise IOC can cut off Badminton from 2020..

Not sure what Kang has done anything for badminton apart from attract trouble? Dato Sri Andrew Kam seems to be good businessman and KLRC at least means commitment the name is used for a few events around world, saw article recently that says he is in gold...good businessman it seems and be very wealthy if in gold what BWF needs, maybe he will get rid of real bad apples that got BWF in position it is today....hears hoping

It is exactly one month from now before the next coming 2009 BWF President Election.

Still no news from Andrew Kam (at Badminton Central ).

Totally agree with koo_fan. It is hoped that our next elected president is the one who has BIG plans for our Badminton worldwide. And of course, to carry out his/her plans while holding office.

huangkwokhau - I see that you keep linking Andrew and Punch in this article - do you have proof of this or just heard it through the grapevine?

What I find extremely weird is that Kang and Paisan running for presidency after being kicked out by their respective BAs. Korea doesn't support Kang and Paisan ruined US BA that the US Olympic Council had to step in to get rid of him. Certainly not good role models to improve badminton if these 2 become president and deputy respectively - how come nobody questioned this?

Is Kang getting support because of the money he's splurging as "donations" to gain votes? :-P

Wasn't Kang and Paisan Punches people, I thought he put them in their positions...I bet they are just like him. Didn't Kang promise a lot of money to IBF did he ever pay up? Can anyone tell me how much he really promised.

What did any of them do for girls in the sport, I hear it took others to at least give some recognition that us girls play the sport.

It is only 5 days before the next coming 2009 BWF President Election (10-May-2009).
Still no news from Andrew Kam at Badminton Central.

Has anyone heard of any new info?

I heard it doesn't look good for Datuk Andrew Kam... Most will vote for Dr. Kang...

Yeah, BAM was not showing support to him, either. How good was our Dr. Kang?

Err, well. I loved his korean look.
