Chong Wei's media manager

My former colleague at the Malay Mail, Satwant Singh Dhaliwal, is the media manager for Datuk Lee Chong Wei, the men's singles badminton top seed for the London Olympics kicking off Saturday, Malaysian time. For updates on Chong Wei and the badminton contingent in London, visit his blog here.

UPDATED:

Responding to this posting, Satwant writes:

"Contrary to what was reported by my former colleague from The Malay Mail and now a TV celebrity, Rizal Hashim on his blog, I must however correct the blog entry that i am not the Media Manager for Dato Lee Chong Wei nor am I employed by Badminton Association of Malaysia in any capacity.


"I am merely helping a friend and also those in the media bridge the communication gap between the two parties on a pro-Bono basis. To Rizal I thank you for promoting my blog and I hope to bring up to date news on the happenings at Wembley Arena for sports fans in Malaysia. There are many members of the Malaysian media that are accredited and they will surely be bringing in depth news from London."



That's Satwant (wearing a Bayern Munich jersey), with loose cannon trying to be funny as usual, while Mustapha Kamaruddin looking not amused as opposed to Tony Yee.

Classic picture. And I was glad to be part of that team...when the Malay Mail Sports Desk was at its best and 'Always with the Latest'.

Yalah tu, dulu bukan main buat kecoh di FAM, sekarang dia dah masuk Badminton...tunggu dan lihat lagak SSD lepas Olimpik nanti..Kalu hang semua nak tahu tanyalah orang-orang FAM dan juga hoki..berkarung karung ceritanya. Politiknya licik. buat komen di blog ssdhaliwal tapi tak bagi ruang untuk pembaca balasnya...macam baling batu sembunyi tanganlah. hello SSD "be a man and don't hide behind a skirt of bloggers' right" berani kerana benarlah brother...
Ada juga desas desus orang BAM yang berkerja keras ke London dengan tujuan memajukan sukan badminton tak sebulu dengan SSD..
Ada juga desas desus bekas Setiausaha BAM mengorak langkah dari belakang tabir berhubung bakal Pres. BAM..lepas Datuk Sri Nadzmi.. menarik tu

Aku dengarpun gitulah yg ada dalang cuba nak sabotaj Datuk Nadzmi..ada yang nak cepat naik kot.cerita bekas setiausaha tu dah lama dah, itu bukan berita..ada kaitan dengan kemelut di persatuan KL adalah tangan dia.ok tu sukan utk politik..macam pegawai2 BAM lebih dari atlet pergi London tolong abiskan duit rakyat je....mungkin jumlah belanja RM1juta kot..kalau dah banyak duit jangan beria-ia mintak dari MSN.. duit kerajaan bolehlah jimat sikit.
Yang si SSD tu memang terkenal sebagai gunting dalam kain..baguslah tu buku dgn ruas bertemu..yg hairan mcm mana SSD dapat masuk buat liputan....
