Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

Read this!… after AirAsia…it’s time for Telekom Malaysia!!

It’s quite great to know that The Manchester United Asia Tour 2009 cost TM about RM3.5million but was said to have helped the company generate more than RM20million in direct revenue from the sale of TM products and services.

Manchester United has signed Malaysia’s leading telecommunications provider, Telekom Malaysia, on a five-year deal to become its Official Integrated Telecommunications Partner in the country.

The partnership will bring online content to MU supporters and TM customers, as well as giving fans the chance to win trips to Old Trafford to watch the team play.

David Gill said: “Our commercial strategy continues to deliver exciting new opportunities. We know that this partnership will help the Club to speak to the millions of fans we have in Malaysia and we are delighted that Telekom Malaysia has developed from the sponsor of our tour match into a fully-fledged partner. We look forward to working with them.

“Anyone who went on our tour of the Far East last summer knows the strength of feeling that Malaysians have for the Club. Over 40,000 attended our training session and another 40,000 came to the second match in Kuala Lumpur, despite only having 48 hours’ notice of the fixture.”

Director of Commercial, Richard Arnold said: “The Club is at the forefront of building relationships with its fans through digital media and this partnership helps us to maintain that position. Telekom Malaysia know all about the power of the Club to energise people in Malaysia and they have some great ideas about how to bring this deal to life.”

Dato’ Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, Group CEO of Telekom Malaysia said: “We are very happy seeing two champions in their respective fields coming together in a partnership such as this; TM, one of Malaysia’s most dynamic and innovative telecoms brand, and Manchester United one the world’s most recognised sports brands and successful football clubs.

“Just like Manchester United, winning and being the best at what we’re at is our business, and that is why we believe this partnership will benefit both entities. This agreement also goes to show that anything is possible when we connect, communicate, and collaborate.”

Police have detained a Malaysian woman who allegedly stabbed her husband in the chest for coming home late after watching a soccer match between Manchester United and Malaysia.

The man had promised to come back immediately after the match in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday evening, but his wife was “very angry” when he returned after midnight, district police chief Abdul Jalil Hassan said yesterday.

The woman stabbed him twice in the chest with a kitchen knife and then took him to a hospital, where a doctor reported the incident to police, Abdul Jalil told The Associated Press.

“He was with friends after the match, so that’s why he came home late,” Abdul Jalil said.

The man was recovering in the hospital and police have not decided whether to charge the woman with any offence.

The English Premier League champions defeated Malaysia 3-2 on Saturday in their opening match on a preseason Asian tour.
