Brazil SEA Tour

I was google- searching my name , and I found this newspaper article with my name in it. Didn't realize there were several articles on the event in the media, including Malay newspapers, sports magazine and even the TV. Thought I'd put this here so one day when my kids grow up, they can read what their Daddy was up to in his early years.

This article appeared on The Star, November 12, 2008.

Brazil SEA Tour may be made a biennial affair

GEORGE TOWN: The organisers of the recent AME Brazil South-East Asia Tour of Hope are contemplating making the event a biennial affair.

The tour took a Brazil Selection side featuring former internationals — among them Paulo Sergio, Batista, Silvio and Ze Carlos — to Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia to raise funds for the victims of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar.

Wawasan GMR, who brought the South Americans to Alor Star, were surprised with the good response from the football fans for a team featuring players past their prime.

“We were surprised by the excellent support from the football fans during all our stops in the region. But I must say that the crowd and match atmosphere for the Kedah match were the best in the Tour,” said Tour organising chairman Peter Shankar.

“Since the Tour was held for a good cause, we might make it a biennial event and bring the Brazilian Selection back.”

The Tour came to an end at the Darulaman Stadium last Friday with the Brazilians protecting their six-game unbeaten run with a 4-1 victory over Malaysia’s treble champions Kedah.

Besides the Alor Star match, the Brazilians also conducted football clinics in the Klang Valley and Penang, and defeated a team comprising former Kedah state footballers 5-2 in Kulim.
