lack of fund??? no support at all???

Where is Kementerian Belia dan Sukan???
They already promise a sponsorship worth RM 1 million for this season, still not enough???

Where is PROTON???
No support for Karamjit???

Uncle Lim (Genting), Uncle SM Nasimudin (NAZA), Uncle Vincent (Berjaya), and all other so-called millionnaires...where are you??? people are needing help here...help to uphold the good name of Malaysia...

 

[zephyr3d]

hahaha.. i believe uncle lim and naza wont invest... what do they get in return except namesake, which they already have. Think bout it... it should be Proton thatz putting in the $$$ for it.

 

[kher]

Again this year???
OMG.....

 

[Grixism]

yeay...malaysia bolee....

 

[RS4wd]

huh....fed up and tired of this matters
we had a good driver in fact a champion driver but still malaysian/sponsors or our national car maker is blind to cover this....last time for our F1 we secured millions but the result was crap....why?driver is not capable enough to race on track, but now for rally nobody cares.....what is happening now??????where is malaysia boleh???where is our pride???

 

[Grixism]

want or not..u gotta face the rality man..this is malaysia..

 

[RS4wd]

top people are getting useless........talk "kok" rather than implement...

 

[Grixism]

hehhee..that how top people work la dude..they talk kok and earn big money..not like us..talk kok and kene tibai laa...

 

[cyclonite]

aiyo why no one wants to sponsor? he's quite capable mah.... Eh Petronas, the richest company in malaysia pump in some money to support la. They can afford to support their F1 team which cost many times more.

 

[RS4wd]

thats whyla, for top people they feel its not worth to invest in rally scene..

 

[zephyr3d]

yea... i bet certain parties dont see rally as a profit generating sports... thatz why u dont see much companies putting in cash for it.

 

[Getz]

Fxxx the government la, can spend so much in the national football team but cannot fork out a little to this poor fellow.

 

[alexz]

the sad thing is he's the best racing driver we got (world champion mah!) and he is now nearing the end of his prime. the sad thing is, in malaysia there is no youngsters that can replace him. didnt see any junior rally teams around here. mostly old timers/regulars. no credible rookies.

 

[Glocker]

You know why? Cuz his name doesn't have a 'bin' in it. Sad but true.

 

[alexz]

but alex yoong also no "bin" what...

 

[kfze]

Agreed with Gloker !!!!!

This is sad case, u know why, coz there's no upcoming "bin" on the way, so memang lar macam tu.

They sponsored some idiotic football team that return with nothing to the people.

But Mr Karamjit already proven himselfs to Malaysia and the world that he is the best ! But still, the country dun think he is !!!!

 

[Grixism]

me with 'bin' oso don't hav sponsors la dude!

....
Where is PROTON???
No support for Karamjit???

FYI Proton gave Karam a 7 figure sponsorship last year.

Please remember a sponsor wants returns from funds given. In World class events the sponsored individual are reqiured to do appearences , endorsments and what-have-you. Sad to say many Malaysians motorsports figures take the money and forget to do their duties. This in turn kills it for newbies trying to get sponsorship.

Most companies would ask " What's in it for me? I give you money to go racing but what do you give me?"

Think about it.

 

[Kookaburra]

hhmmm, was the money given to Karam or PERT? There is a world of difference. Karam does not control PERT, so the money may not end up where it is supposed to be. But I am just speculating

aiyoo is tht so? i hope not coz if it is, it sucks. :mellow:

 

[faisal]

but alex yoong also no "bin" what...

True, a sponsor wants max exposure for what they give and by sponsoring A. Yoong it's more or less guarenteed as Formula one generates lot of coverage from all media, whereas rallying has a pretty low profile. It's not about being a "bin" as many of you like to put it.
