Menang bida Hollywood

KUALA LUMPUR: Kejayaan syarikat Bumiputera, Kumpulan Osys memenangi bidaan bernilai RM3.54 juta (AS$1 juta) untuk menganjurkan program realiti TV Hollywood, The Contender Asia musim kedua bakal melakar sejarah tersendiri buat negara.

Kemenangan itu tidak hanya meletakkan Malaysia setapak ke depan berbanding Amerika Syarikat, Macau, Thailand, Singapura dan Australia ketika merebut peluang menjadi tuan rumah, sebaliknya kesempatan menaikkan profil negara di seluruh dunia.

Menteri Pelancongan, Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen, berkata penganjuran program realiti TV itu yang mempunyai jumlah penonton sehingga 500 juta seluruh dunia pada musim sebelumnya, akan memberi banyak manfaat kepada industri pelancongan tempatan.

“Pulangan daripada aktiviti pemasaran, promosi dan pakej penajaan agresif produksi TV ini turut diyakini memberi potensi besar kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi negara yang dilihat sebagai moden, progresif dengan rakyat berbilang kaum hidup aman sentosa.

“Jadi, kementerian akan memberi sepenuh sokongan menjayakan produksi The Contender Asia musim baru ini,” katanya pada sidang media mengumumkan penganjuran program The Contender Asia Musim Ke-2, di Menara Dato Onn di sini, semalam.

Hadir sama Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Osys, Muhd Shahnaz Azmi; Produser Eksekutif The Contender Asia 2 yang juga Presiden Imagine OmniMedia Pte Ltd, Riaz Mehta dan Naib Presiden Majlis Muaythai Sedunia, Stephan Fox.

Ismail wins in Titiwangsa

Ismail Ramli of the Malaysian Tigers appeared victorious against Nik Azizi of Kuda Merah, PDRM.

Ismail or better known as Mail surprised the crowd, controlling the match from beginning to end. Which was never expected as Azizi is a very good and experienced fighter. When we had suggested Mail fight Azizi the organisers had later called back and asked whether Mail could get past the first round. I am so proud to say he definately did and went on to win with style. Good job Mail!

Here's the fight video

Mohd Ali vs Andy Howson


Unfortunately Ali lost the World Title fight against Andy Howson of Bad Company.

According to team captain Bernard Radin, it was a good fight with Ali being the aggressor in the initial rounds. In round 2, Ali managed to down Howson with a kick to the head with his left leg, subjecting Howson to an 8 count. Howson walked out with his face pretty cut up, Ali walked out with some swellings on his shins.

It was a good match up and we hope to challenge Howson to a rematch during the Contender Asia Undercard fights in Malaysia.
