A little bit goes a long way

  Recently the Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Muhamad called on the corporate sector to increase sponsorship of sporting events in the country. The Malaysia Global Business Forum in its' small way answered this call with a sponsorship of the 2020 International Touché Minime, a regional youth fencing tournament which saw over 220 athletes from 9 different countries competing in Kuala Lumpur. Many might ask why a business forum is investing money into an international fencing event?

Malaysia Global Business Forum to support local sporting initiatives

Malaysia has the opportunity to move to a corporate-funded sports model, allowing the government to shift to investments into required infrastructure and land grants for sporting facilities. As Malaysia moves to developed nation status it needs to develop a world-class sporting culture that is both positive and sustainable.  In line with global best practices, sports and the business community go hand in hand, eventually developing a thriving sports industry.

While it is the democratic will of the majority of people living in the UK it's important to remember the founding principles of peace and prosperity through a shared future following the catastrophic aftermath of two world wars, this ideal should not be lost during the coming years.
