Nazri GRILLED over deal with Vincent Tan: Why the RM15 MILLION deal to Cardiff City?




KUALA LUMPUR — A PKR lawmaker is alleging wastefulness in the Tourism Ministry’s £3 million (RM15 million) part sponsorship of the English Premier League Club owned by Tan Sri Vincent Tan, saying the move will not repay the country in tourist arrivals.

In Parliament yesterday, Petaling Jaya Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian also asked if the ministry’s entry into the kit sponsorship deal with newly-promoted Cardiff City could be considered government aid for the Berjaya Corp tycoon.

“The other question is, why the Cardiff City EPL football club and not another club in the English leagues?” according a statement from the lawmaker issued last night

He did not, however, suggest alternatives.

Hee later said the ministry should have been “more creative” in promoting the Visit Malaysia Year 2014 than placing a logo of the campaign at Cardiff City Stadium, but did not provide examples of what these should be.

Instead, he said the allocations should be diverted to local football clubs that he said were short of funds. It is unclear how the suggestion would aid the country’s tourism.

In a written reply to Hee’s questions yesterday, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz said the kit sponsorship deal was undertaken as EPL broadcasts reached a global audience of 720 million people across 80 media partners.

The minister revealed that the deal was for £7.35 million but the ministry was contributing less than half the amount.

Nazri said the deal also entitled the ministry to hold a season-long exhibition for the Visit Malaysia Year 2014 campaign at the team’s stadium as well as display the logo there for the entirety of the 2013/14 term.

He further added that the sponsorship was aimed at drawing “high-end tourists” from the UK and other western European nations, adding that both were Malaysia’s largest market for long-haul arrivals.

Tan became a major shareholder in Cardiff City in 2012 and arrived with unconventional ideas on how to revamp the club.

Among the more controversial were plans to change the club’s colours from blue to red and replace their bluebird badge with a dragon. The kit change was dropped initially, after fans protested, but has since come to pass. The dragon, however, remains on the backburner.

The Berjaya Corp chairman’s fortunes at the club has outshone that of another Malaysian magnate, AirAsia’s Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, whose Queens Park Rangers went in the opposite direction and was relegated from the Premier League the same season Cardiff was promoted.

And?

It's a story that involves Cardiff City

Wow.

Whens the next BU meeting and March.

£3m for one season of shirt sponsorship, how does that compare with the other premier league clubs?

Wow.

Whens the next BU meeting and March.

What a bizarre response.

The Malaysians got a good deal for £3 mill.
Visit Malaysia on our shirts will be seen all around the world this season.

“The other question is, why the Cardiff City EPL football club and not another club in the English leagues?” according a statement from the lawmaker issued last night"
Erm because TV deals are at their highest and the coverage is at a high. You can clearly see the sponsors on our shirt and all the malaysian businesses on our advertising boards

And?

Oddly enough, "And" was my first thought, Jinks

Vincent Tan has brought in £3 million worth of sponsorship from malaysia and some people are trying to criticise him?

How can it be a waste when it's serving CCFC !
All governments waste money so better waste it on us than just throw it away somewhere else.

So they maybe wanted another team to promote visit Malaysia,But they didn't have any teams in mind.
They would also prefer if the monies had been allocated to local teams resources,but they didn't have any teams in mind.

Nice to hear they know what they want eh!!

What a pointless story this is and it's been made a sticky
Some people trying to twist it but infact shows Cardiff City benefiting from it

So it was ok when Tan was sponsoring Malaysia out of his own pocket. Sadly their politicians sound the same as ours.

Just politicians trying to score cheap points.

Well you're wrong to disagree. This is a Cardiff city site and a news article regarding Cardiff City has been posted.

Just because it's against Tan, doesn't mean you can't post it.

I'm rather afraid they do.

Is this the same MP who has a season ticket at a certain Premiership club in the mIdlands?

Yes it involves Cardiff City but posters like you are trying to twist it and make out its bad when it isn't and you know it

Just politicians trying to score cheap points.

agree a complete non story. Malaysia has invested in advertising for their tourism. like most advertisement it will either work or it wont work. I dont understand how the advertisement would be better suited at another club or whether they would get the deal.

the government aid quote is utter nonsense, youve got to pay for advertising why does the Malaysian government think they are any different.

Where have I tried to twist anything? I haven't given an opinion on it, you silly man.

You moan that there's too many Jacks on here, then when something about Cardiff is posted, you still moan.
