I genuinely cannot believe that Tan would have taken such a huge step unless he believes what he is doing is best for the business. He won't have done it 'just to piss us off' as that would have no value at all
I may be wrong but it is why I am prepared to give him time to prove/disprove

I believe the rebrand was just down to selfish reasons and personal preference of his.
Unless he genuinely believes that the rebrand will make the club more attractive to the Far East market in a way which will make some sort of impact on the club. But that will never happen anyway unless we are successful on the pitch, and even if we were, it would have nothing to do with the rebrand! Of course you can include the fact that he invested millions in exchange, but we could've achieved everything we have achieved without the changes. This is why I think it's stupid.

Let us know when you become a billionaire.

The rebrand has done nothing business related other than cause a lot of controversy and attention from fans and the media.

I've seen this attitude before, Do you think that because a man is rich he is incapable of extreme stupidity?![]()
Also in an undemocratic country like Malaysia wealth is accrued over a number of ways and it's not always the cream rising to the top.

Malaysia is a democratic country and they have just had their 13th general election (5 May) since gaining independence from Britain. As it happens VT's mate Prime Minister Najib Razak was returned to power, all be it with the worst showing in 50 years.
This was despite a Social Programme which included $2.6 billion worth of hand outs to the poor and extensive unity campaigns which included the 1Malaysia Cardiff City project.
However, the return of Najib Razak could be very good news for VT. The ethnic Chinese have deserted the ruling UMNO party in droves and voted for opposition parties. UMNO have to be seen as doing something for the 25% Chinese population with better opportunities in business, education and housing.
One of the first things that could be done is returning VT's betting licence and allowing the Chinese community the freedom to gamble.

That is just it they are his beliefs, calling him stupid for something he beliefs in. He is from a diff culture, can you not take that on board

The "other than" bit you mention though is pretty big ain't it.
