A majority of the 11,000 Olympians will count themselves lucky just for not being financially broke when the Games end. One interesting development on track and field is that athletes without sponsors, or who are prohibited by their sponsors from wearing a competing brand, will be covering up their shoes logo. Sports lawyers Richard Wee and Lesley Lim are here to talk about money in Olympics and the practice of ambush marketing.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sports has
evolved from an extra co-curricular activity to a booming industry over the
last 50 years. The sports industry generates large funding and financial
turnovers which creates a financial market on its own. In the middle of this
entire gigantic industry remains the soul of sports, which is the athlete. In
competitive sports, every athlete carries the goodwill and brand of that sport.
Speaking of brands, it is common to read about athletes creating and maintaining
their image rights. This concept of image rights is very much part of that
earlier-mentioned sports industry above. Some athletes gain much financial
income from their respective image rights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">On the other
hand</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">, an increasing number of
corporate companies have come to realize the potential of being associated or
connected to the sports industry. Major brands like Coca Cola, McDonald’s and
Samsung have constantly invested in sports sponsorship to ensure that their
brand is seen to be connected to sports brands. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">This hunger that corporations have to
link up with sports has become a driving force for the creation of a win-win
situation for both parties. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">In
all of this, sports lawyers have a unique role in bridging the gap between
these demanding corporations and their desired sports.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">In Malaysia,
the concept of image rights and its use in the sports industry is a foreign
topic, an income-inducing </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">opportunity
unseized by many local athletes. However, with the rampant growth of
globalization, a failure to properly manage one’s image would significantly
hamper the individual’s ability to take control of possible additional income.
It is especially relevant to sports athletes who have been granted celebrity
status which may be used as a</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; line-height: 200%;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">gauge of the athlete’s
worth in the market. An example would be Datuk Lee Chong Wei.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6990024877337833070#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">[1]</span></sup></span></span></sup></a><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;"> His income is based mainly on his competition winnings
but he also earns lucrative income by controlling the use of his image in
endorsement deals with the likes of ‘100 Plus’ and ‘Yonex’.</span></div>

get a clearer definition of image rights in the sports industry, a panoramic
comparison of image rights in </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;">the
United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US) has to be made. In the UK, there
is no specific statutory provision for a right to one’s image, nor has it been
expressly adjudicated within common law.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6990024877337833070#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">[2]</span></sup></span></span></sup></a><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;"> However, image rights is interlinked with the
law in regards to intellectual property rights that protects creations. There
are two aspects to the protection of image rights, which are to protect a
person's right to privacy and a person's ability to commercially promote
oneself. </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6990024877337833070#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">[3]</span></sup></span></span></sup></a></div>

This right provides that every individual has full control over the commercial
use of their identity which includes their name, voice, signature and photograph.
It aims to prevent unauthorized and uncompensated exploitation of an individual's
image. Because of this, US is deemed to be the forerunning country for
protecting an individual's image rights. However, the First Amendment to the US
Constitution limits the right to publicity<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6990024877337833070#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7;" title=""><sup><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">[7]</span></sup></span></sup></a>
in an attempt to form a balance between the aforementioned right and the right
to freedom of expression. This is considered to be a necessary amendment to
prevent infringing the freedom of press. </span></div>

Protected?</b></span></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 36pt;">As there is no specific law for image rights,
intellectual property law aids in protecting an athlete's image rights through
various means, for example: through the law related to trademarks and passing
off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 36pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;">Trademarks
are recognizable insignias or words used to identify and differentiate a
particular product from another, also indicating its source. Trademarks are
registered to allow</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;">legal action to be taken if the trademarked
brand is used without permission. In relation to image rights, athletes can
register their name or their signature as trademarks. This however does not
include their image. An example would be the world renown footballer, Paul
'Gazza' Gascoigne who trademarked his nickname 'Gazza', bringing about the
Gazzamania fandom. These trademarks are protected under various trademark laws
like the US<b><i> Lanham Act</i></b> and the UK <b><i>Trade Marks Act 1994</i></b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;">Another means of protection
is through the law of passing off. Where trademarking is a precautionary
measure, the law of passing off is a post-conflict step. As celebrities, it is
common for an athlete’s image to be used in endorsement deals. An unauthorized
use of the celebrity's image to endorse a product is considered passing off. It
must be proven (1) that at that point in time, the individual had a significant
amount of goodwill or reputation and (2) that a significant amount of the
general population would mistake the false endorsement as a genuine endorsement
by the celebrity. The athlete will then be entitled to compensation under the
law of passing off. </span></div>

Lawyers in Marketing Image Rights</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;">Malaysia applies similar law
to that of UK whereby an athlete’s image rights are protected via trademarking
their name. In addition to trademarks for individual athletes, sports teams
like the JDT Football Team or the KLBC Badminton Team may take steps to
register the team brand. This is where sports lawyers with intellectual property
knowledge enter the picture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;">Once the brand names are
registered, it is encumbered upon relevant characters or teams to promote the
brand commercially. Co-branding efforts or selling of the brand to corporate
organizations are examples of commercializing an athlete’s image rights. Sports
lawyers are involved in each stage of trademarking and marketing the said brand
whereby they may also act as marketing advisors cum publicity agents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;">Despite being a relatively
uncommon field of practice in Malaysia, sports law is in great demand in
Western countries. Sports lawyers draft and formalize commercial contracts
between parties, ensuring the athlete is legally protected. In this modern age
where having a significant presence on social media would greatly enhance the
athlete’s brand, it is the sports lawyer’s duty to advise the athlete how to
manage social media sites and the content that appears on their page. They
filter the content to be posted on the site and advise the athlete on
politically correct means of managing conflict. In terms of marketing efforts,
a commercial post is planned and timed by the lawyer for maximum impact.</span></div>

controlling one’s image is evident when </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;">analyzing football
giants,</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;"> Manchester
United. Their nickname ‘The Red Devils’ has received much global recognition
from corporations and fans alike. The strategic marketing of that name is a
significant factor as to why they are ranked No. 1 on Forbes 2016 list of the
World’s Most Valuable Sports Teams with a gross value of $1.86 billion.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6990024877337833070#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" style="text-indent: 36pt;" title=""><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">[8]</span></sup></span></span></sup></a><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;"> The commercial team together

group of elite brands (ie. Nike and Adidas). The ever-growing desire of certain
corporate companies to be associated with successful sports clubs as mentioned
earlier above, drives this economic pursuit for sponsorship through the image
rights of the club, the team and/or the athlete. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36pt;">In </span><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;">summary,
the driving force behind a successful union between the corporate and sports
sector is actually the demand potential sponsors generate by their need to be
constantly fed. The relationship between the sectors has become so congruent
that the absence of one would greatly impact the commercial wealth of the
other. In order to satisfy this ever-growing hunger, image rights in the sports
industry have to be properly created, registered and commercialized. Nonetheless,
despite the hunger of sponsors, the many commercial opportunities they seek
would be non-existent if it were not for the sport itself and the role the
athlete plays. The centerpiece of the sports industry has always been and will
always be the winning goal shot in by the athlete, the winning point scored at
the final buzzer, fulfilling their principal intent of achieving victory. The
spirit and soul of sports shall always remain paramount.</span></div>

Thank you for your warm wishes. It is indeed a great honour to be elected by my fellow peers to lead SLAM as deputy president. We hope to create a platform for interested parties to explore the frontiers of sports law in Malaysia. Under Datuk Dr Sundra Rajoo’s leadership, I am confident that the objectives of SLAM, particularly the aspiration that one day Malaysia becomes the sports law hub of this region, will be a reality.</div>

As you may be aware, Messrs <a href="http://www.rwy.com.my/" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.1s linear; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #426f86; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear; vertical-align: baseline;">Richard Wee and Yip</a> (RWY) host and organise on an annual basis a Sports Law Conference since 2013. The said conference is a rostrum to generate discussions and exchange views about sports law. It was our fervent hope that the series of conferences will be the impetus to have more lawyers embracing sports law and offering services to the sports industry. To a large extent, that aim has succeeded, to the point that the sports law fraternity began to entertain the idea of a dedicated society to cater for the interest of sports lawyers.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
So, at the last conference in <a href="http://richardweeyip.blogspot.my/2015/12/opening-speech-of-rwy-sports-law.html" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.1s linear; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #426f86; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear; vertical-align: baseline;">2015</a>, the idea and suggestion to form SLAM was first mooted and that idea was warmly received by the delegates. The Minister of Youth and Sports, <a href="http://richardweeyip.blogspot.my/2015/12/keynote-speech-by-yb-khairy-jamaluddin.html" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.1s linear; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #426f86; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear; vertical-align: baseline;">YB Khairy Jamaluddin</a>, and President of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM), Tunku Imran, who were both in attendance at that said conference, also voiced their optimism with the proposed association.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Carrying the spirit of that support, RWY with the leadership of KLRCA charted and planned the creation of SLAM.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
On the 4th of July 2016, over 20 people attended the first Pro-tem meeting. It was a historical meeting as members of the Malaysian Bar and the legal fraternity were on the verge of forming a dedicated association to advance the interest and development of sports law. This has never been done before. At the same Pro-tem, the following Office Bearers were elected.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
SLAM has a few proposed plans and they are listed below:-</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">a. Development of sports law</strong><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />We hope to encourage more law schools to offer the subject of sports law in their respective programs. We also hope to work with the Malaysian Bar to encourage more lawyers to take up sports law and as mentioned above, to offer relevant services for sports. To that end, we have already reached out to a few tertiary education centres to hold forums and seminars at their respective institutions. The forums and seminars will probably encourage some law students to pick up this area of law. As for the Malaysian Bar, once SLAM is registered, the association may hold dialogues and meetings with the Bar particularly with the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) department to hold the relevant seminars.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">b. Research and materials</strong><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Like any other area of law, legal reviews, journals and reports are necessary. SLAM wishes to create its own Sports Law Journal and Dr. Jady mentioned above, is appointed to lead the editorial team for this project. Articles and commentaries will be welcomed not just by members of the Bar but other interested parties too.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">c. Conferences, seminars and trainings</strong><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />SLAM intends to organize its own annual Sports Law Conference and will supplement the said annual conference with a series of seminars and trainings. Speakers from all over Malaysia and the world will be invited. For the foreseeable future, most of the activities will be based in Kuala Lumpur but eventually, we hope to expand to other major cities in Malaysia.</div>

In time, we hope to build a strong and firm network for our members to utilize and be part of. As mentioned above, we aspire to be the sports law hub of our region and this process will help us achieve that.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
These are just some preliminary plans that we have. Perhaps in time, the plans may be tweaked or changed and further proposals may be added.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
At the moment, the awareness of sports law in Malaysia is fairly low. Many lawyers may not realise that sports law has its own jurisprudence, rules and regulations and its own conventions. There is much to do to not only create the awareness about sports law, but to advance and improve the standard of sports law in Malaysia. Sports law is an international area of law. Technically any Malaysia sports lawyer may advise a European or American athlete for matters ranging from sports image to social media. For example, why can’t one of us be David Beckham’s lawyer? So, the potential of sports law in Malaysia is huge.</div>

What changes are in store for these laws?</strong></em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Currently, sports disputes are regulated by the respective sports associations. Parties involved in the dispute may also refer the matter to the courts. For associations which have adopted the Court of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) as the ultimate body to resolve disputes, the dispute of that association may be referred to CAS.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, there is a specific legislation referred to as the Sports Development Act 1997. In Section 24, the dispute of the association may be referred to the Minister of Sports. The minister, on the other hand, may refer to a Sports Advisory Panel to advise him of the next course of action. It is rather unique that sports disputes in Malaysia may be settled by a minister instead of an arbitrator or a judge.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are plans to create a National Dispute Resolution Body for Sports, perhaps with KLRCA as the center. Recently in May 2014, CAS and KLRCA entered into a Memorandum of Understanding which effectively appointed KLRCA as a centre to host and hear sports disputes in this region. I am made to understand a few cases have been heard in KLRCA. SLAM will be at the forefront of this area as the association intends to assist the relevant party to formulate a practical dispute resolution system for sports.</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Last December
2015, the football federation for North America, better known as CONCACAF initiated
a Court action in the United States of America, to reclaim millions of dollars
purported to have lost through a “kick-back” scheme orchestrated by their
former office bearers. Jeffery Webb, former president of CONCACAF was convicted
for money laundering while Enrique Sanz who as of December was not charged yet,
were both instrumental in the engagement of a travel agency called Cartan Tours.
It was alleged that more than $40 million were steered towards Cartan Tours
purportedly for travel services of CONCACAF <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>staffs. This suit will be closely watched as
it is the first of many expected from the recent FIFA scandal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">As a
matter of fact, claims by sports organisations against corrupt practices are
not uncommon. For example, in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ross River
Ltd v Cambridge City Football Club Ltd [2007] EWHC 2115 (Ch)</b>, the Court
decided that in a situation where contract succeed based on a secret payment or
bribe received by an agent or representative, the principal will have his right
to rescission. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">That
CONCACAF expose’ is unfortunately, a series of embarrasing explosive news in the
world of football. FIFA’s former President <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sepp
Blatter</b> himself is facing investigations for misuse of funds. The recent
news where <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Michel Platini</b> was banned
from all football activity for a total of eight years due to a corruption
investigation highlights the need for integrity in Sports. It is reported that
Platini had accepted an unauthorised payment from the-then FIFA president, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sepp Blatter</b> who is also currently
banned. The exact words used by the ethics
committee are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Mr Platini failed to act
with complete credibility and integrity, showing awareness of the importance of
his duties and concomitant obligations and responsibilities.”</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Nonetheless
the efforts by CONCACAF warrants a review of the position of law in Malaysia. In
the local context of Malaysia, how would such corruption cases in Sports be
dealt with? Can an ala-CONCACAF kind of action be taken by a sports
organisation in Malaysian Courts? What would the cause of action be?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Trust
Laws is the obvious cause of action with reference to Tracing and Constructive
Trust. We would however suggest that there are elements of sports law which has
to be taken into account too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In an
action under the Law of Trusts, we will draw strength from the case of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Attorney General of Hong Kong v Reid [1993]
3 WLR 1143</b>. Anthony Reid was the Crown Counsel of the Hong Kong Government.
Reid had taken bribes and amongst his ‘investment’ from this corrupt income,
were properties purchased in New Zealand. Apart from the eight years of
imprisonment imposed on him, the Court also ordered him to pay a total of
HK$12.4 million, being the total value of his assets alleged to have been
acquired from the bribes. Reid, holding pubic office and carrying the trust of
the Government in prosecution matters, was deemed to be a fiduciary by the Court.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">It is
generally known that a fiduciary that receives any unauthorised profit out of
his duty towards his principal would hold the property or profit on trust for
the respective principal or rather, the victim. It was held that the moment Reid
breach his duties in return for the bribe; he immediately owed the Government
of Hong Kong a fiduciary duty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">However,
the principle from the case of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lister v
Stubbs (1890) 45 Ch D 1 </b>would automatically convert Anthony Reid into a debtor
to the Crown for the bribe money he obtained. Is Reid a debtor or a fiduciary? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Interestingly the Privy Council in Reid’s
case, overturn Lister v Stubbs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Briefly,
Stubbs was appointed by his master, the firm Lister & Co to buy goods from
Varley & Co. Stubbs subsequently accepted bribes and invested in properties
apart from other investments. Alongside the bribe money, the plaintiff in that
case also sought to claim for the properties in which Stubbs invested in. Unfortunately
for the plaintiff in Stubb’s case, the Court was of the view that the
relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant was more of a debtor and
creditor relationship. The Court could not agree that trust existed in such a
situation. The Court observed that the beneficiary should not be entitled to a
proprietary right simply because it is not their legal right to receive more
than what is necessary in trust. Most importantly, the beneficiary may not have
suffered any financial loss due to the bribery.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Privy Council, in overturning Stubbs,
applied Constructive Trusts on Reid's properties in New Zealand and effectively permitted the AG (Hong
Kong) to forfeit the assets which Reid had purchased with the
bribe money mentioned above. The thrust of the Privy Council decision stems
from the position it took, that Reid is in fact a fiduciary when acting for the
Hong Kong government. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Paragon Finance plc v DB Thakerar & Co</b></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">[1999] 1 All ER 400</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">, Lord Justice Millett held that
there are two situations that may result in constructive trust; by operation of
law and in cases where the Defendant is implicated in fraud. In most cases, it
would fall under the latter category. For example, constructive trust will
arise where unauthorised profit is made out of the party’s fiduciary position
or even, in situations where a contract has been entered into by or on behalf
of the fiduciary as a consequence of fraud.<span style="color: red;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Furthermore
in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">El Ajou v Dollar Land Holdings Plc
[1994] 2 All ER 685</b> it was held that when a party receives money or trust
property because they breached their duty towards their fiduciary, they will
hold the money or property in trust.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Should
the CONCACAF-like corrupt case occurs in Malaysian Sports Organisations, cases
like AG (HK) v Reid would be apllicable. However, what is crucial here in terms
of sports law, is the requirement of integrity in sports. Most sports
organisations enforce the element of integrity very strongly. One example is the
ASEAN Football Confederation (AFC) whereby a dedicated team is formed to
maintain and enforce integrity in Asian football. That team oversees and
investigates any suspicion of breach of integrity which includes match fixing,
kickbacks and corrupt practices. A few footballers and sports officials have
fallen foul of this integrity code by AFC and has either been suspended or
permanently banned from football. It seems that integrity is no more a mere punch
line of sports politics but it is in fact becoming essential to maintain the sanctity
of sports.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">If
corrupt practises goes on in Sports, be it on the field or the boardroom of the
organisation; the reputation of Sports would be dented. There is no doubt that
integrity plays an extremely important role in sports. Participants,
spectators, sponsors as well as the public and media will often judge a sports
organisation based on the level of integrity they portray to have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Therefore,
if integrity in sports is constantly enforced and if corrupt
practices/kickbacks are weeded out, actions taken by CONCACAF may not be
necessary anymore. The sports integrity movement in recent years is a positive
preventive step to prevent corrupt practices in sports. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In
addition to all the above discussion, it is submitted that more steps ought to
be taken in order to eliminate all possible corrupt practices. Basic steps like
advertising or promoting ethics in sports, issuing anti-corruption measures,
setting stricter in-house rules, getting the Governmental bodies to work
closely with sports organisations or even allow media to spread awareness.
Considering the fact that the media are often the “eyes and ears of the public”
and with such transparency available, it would be beneficial to sportsmen, the
public and the government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
future of good clean sports should start with powerful integrity mechanism in
all sports organisation. Once the mechanism is effectively enforced, sports
organisations will severely minimize the CONCACAF debacle and FIFA scandal.
Recourse to law and activation of cases such as Reid’s case ought to be the
last resort for any sports organisation. In time, sports must learn to clean
itself and develop its own internal rule of law to weed out corrupt practices. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

& Yip for inviting me to give this speech at their annual Sports Law
Conference. I understand this is the third edition of this event. I recall in
2013, Messrs. Richard Wee & Yip did invite me to officiate the first ever
RWY Sports Law Conference but I was unable to make it as I had a prior
engagement. The Ministry was well represented by the Deputy Secretary-General,
Dato’ Harun Bin Che Su. I was informed that the inaugural conference was very
well received by members of industry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">I am happy to attend such a unique and timely conference. The
conferences that I usually attend as Minister of Youth & Sports tend to
general youth issues, or more rarely around the improvement of high-performance
sports. I understand that <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">the primary
purpose of organising and hosting this Conference is to create
awareness of the importance of Sports Law in
the Sports industry, but that this conference in part isn’t
restricted to that. With the range of matters that will be discussed today, </span>I
think that this Conference will go beyond that and try to come up with answers
to some of the most pressing issues in sport, both in this country and beyond.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">I understand that Sports Law isn’t restricted to the Sports
Development Act, but I’ll start on that first, before moving on to touch on the
policies that my Ministry have put in place for sports development and how
sports law can play a role in this. The particular act that governs sports
development in this country is the Sports Development Act 1997, as I’m sure all
of you know. The aim of this Act is to promote and to facilitate the
development and administration of sports in Malaysia. It spells out the roles
of the Olympic Council of Malaysia, Sports Commissioner and the Sports Advisory
Panel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also defines the role of
the Minister, in deciding on international sports events, in the case of
disputes, sports science, and a slew of other things. In 1997, the Sports
Development Act was a fantastic piece of legislation in an attempt to
streamline sports in Malaysia. Over the years, it has helped to put us on
decent footing as we aimed to develop sports through agencies under the
Ministry and sports associations through the Olympic Council of Malaysia. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">However, there are parts of it that require amendments in
keeping with issues we’ve identified, and how the nature of sport has changed
over the years. For example, there are sports associations in this country that
haven’t changed their constitution since Independence, despite being asked
repeatedly to do so by the Sports Commissioner’s Office. There are associations
that bid for international events, win it, and then come to the government
asking for money. In many cases we are forced to help out for national
interests and to ensure the country does not lose face. There are associations
that can’t be investigated and enforced by us in the event of non-performance,
internal problems or even corruption.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"> 5.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">Some of the more specific issues follow. The Sports
Development Act was established to take over the Registrar of Societies role on
Registration and Governence of Sports Bodies in Malaysia. When sports bodies
transfered their registration to the Sports Commissioner, within 6 months all
Sports Bodies should have changed their old constitution to the new constitution
based on the guideline issued by the Sports Commissioner. Unfortunately, this
did not happen. Many sports bodies have archaic constitutions which lead to
many disputes and governance issues. The Sports Development Act does not give
power to the Sports Commissioner’s Office to order sports bodies to change
their constitution.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">The Sports Development Act does not give the Sports
Commissioner’s Office the power to audit governance and financial statements of
sports associations. If the office bearers of that association approve
financial misconduct or malfeasance, there are no powers invested in the
Commissioner to do anything about it. There have been several cases of that in
just the last few years alone. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">Too may sports associations are being created at the moment
which hampers sports development because it stretches our limited resources
with too many layers within the associations. Many associations have the
National-State-District-Club-Individual structure, which in many cases
infeasible because of the number of layers required. Many district associations
are not active, and this hampers sports development thru associations. The
Sports Development Act also currently caters for too wide a range of sports
under the First Schedule of the Act; Martial Arts and ‘Recreational’ being an
example. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to a range of government agencies, academic experts, sports lawyers, former
athletes, sports associations and others in coming up with amendments to the
Act. These are the more obvious reasons why amendments to the Act have to be
made. Notwithstanding reasons above, there are few less apparent ones. <o:p></o:p></span></span></a></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">Firstly, the Paralympic Association of Malaysia is not
currently given recognition under the Act. Paralympics and the development of
sports for the physically challenged is an area that we’ve really looked at the
last few years. One of my first acts as Minister of Youth and Sports was to
ensure that physically challenged athletes got the same incentive bonus for
winning medals at international events as normal athletes. We’ve also set up
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Inspire</i> programme to find and
train physically challenged athletes at the grassroots level. The ASEAN Para
Games starts today in Singapore, and I’ll be there over the weekend. The
Paralympic Association getting equal recognition under the Act is imperative to
me in moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">As you know, doping is currently a hot topic, not only in
Malaysian sports but all around the world. In the last year alone, we’ve seen
cases involving the world number 1 in badminton, the International Association
of Athletics Federation, the Champions League, the Tour de France, just to name
a few. This is a worldwide issue. We’re taking this very, very seriously. We
have adopted a culture of zero tolerance in this. We’re acting in a few ways.
Firstly, we want to strengthen the relevant agency, ADAMAS (Anti-Doping Agency
of Malaysia) to ensure that they’re able to test more athletes, when they’re
training and just before they go to international competition. We will
recognise ADAMAS officially as a body that is in charge of anti-doping through
the Sports Development Act. We will also move towards ADAMAS having their own
Parliamentary Act to strengthen it even further as an independent agency.
Earlier this year, sports associations signed the Acceptance of ADAMAS
Anti-Doping Rules and we want to ensure this is enforced. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">It would also be amiss to not mention the Kuala Lumpur
Centre for Regional Arbitration, with the Director Datuk Sundra Rajoo here. The
KLRCA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Court of Arbitration for
Sports in 2012. The Malaysian Sports Arbitration Tribunal is also to be formed,
with it being an option if both parties in dispute decide to use it. We’re also
in the midst of looking to form an internal tribunal for sports association
disputes that will allow the Minister to send cases their way, in case the
Tribunal under the KLRCA is prohibitively expensive. This tribunal will be
chaired by an ex-judge, and will include two other people who are experts in
their field. That proposal is currently with the Sports Advisory Panel, and
we’re looking to put this in to the Sports Development Act amendments. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">I also want to touch on other policies that we’re looking
into, that will have further spillover effects on Sports Law. Last year, my
Ministry launched a new campaign called FitMalaysia. We’ve done 15 events in
that time. <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We've covered the length and
breadth of Malaysia, and have seen hundreds of thousands of Malaysians come out
to run, ride, practice martial arts, take part in our physical challenges, get
nutrition advice, eat healthy food, or just dance. We've also seen the inaugural
Hari Sukan Negara take place this year, that saw more than five million
Malaysians take part in more than 17,000 activities all around the country. Malaysians
of all stripes, from all walks of life. </span>The aim of these campaigns are
to create awareness for the need of a healthy lifestyle. We want Malaysians to
keep fit and be active. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"> 13.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">But there’s also a very important secondary effect to what
we’re doing. More Malaysian involved in sports and physical activities means
more Malaysians thinking about sports as a career. Professional sports itself
is a huge industry around the world. Just look at the prices the best
footballers in the world command when they’re bought. Manchester United is
worth $3.5 billion. Michael Jordan is worth a billion dollars. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">Our nascent sports industry is currently worth around RM5
billion, or around 0.5% of our GDP. But all you need to do is look at the
number of sports shops there are around, and the number of rides and runs
happening every week. I myself almost take part in some run or ride on a weekly
basis. We’re seeing incredible growth here. Therefore, it is imperative that
the sports industry is properly and accurately managed. This is where services
such as sports marketing, auditing and a strong legal framework can be
components to ensure the sports industry is transparent and accountable.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="line-height: 115%;">Sports
Law is the term used to describe the application of law in the world of sports
- a combination of corporate and contract law, tax and real estate planning,
intellectual property law, insurance, labour law and alternative dispute
resolution. In some occasions, the law of tort also comes into play. The ever-growing
interaction between sports and the law gives rise to the need for a special and
greater understanding of the sports industry and those related to it. Legal
compliance with existing legislation and rules has also become more important
in this day of technological advancement and commercialization in sports. Conferences
like this play a role in making sure that these discussions come to the
forefront. For that, I applaud Messrs Richard Wee & Yip.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

that Messrs Richard Wee & Yip wish to launch a Malaysian Sports Law
Association. I applaud their effort and I believe this is something the sports
industry will receive warmly. With the formation of such an association,
parties involved in sports and lawyers who practice sports law would have a
platform to share views, collaborate and hopefully push Malaysia into becoming a
sports law hub in this region. I believe we have the legal expertise to offer
sports law services not only in Malaysia but also to the sporting community in ASEAN.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We wish to
welcome each and every one of you to the third annual RWY Sports Law Conference.
The main objective of this conference is to create awareness of Sports Law and
to generate discussions and exchange views in this area of law. We aspire to
promote, develop and expand sports law in Malaysia and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>South East Asia. We are of the view
that for Sports to be successful, not only efforts to improve the stakeholders
of sports are relevant, but service providers such as Legal services for sports must raise their game
too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For a long
time now, since we have been involved in sports law, Messrs RWY have noticed
the lack of understanding about sports law. For many people, any lawyer helping
a sports based company or person, is a sports lawyer. That is not accurate. A Sports Lawyer would understand the unique interpretation of for
example, football rules and doping issues. A Sports Lawyer will also know that
the standard of proof for sports is not “beyond reasonable doubt” (like in
criminal cases) or “balance of probabilities” in civil cases. In fact, the
standard of proof for sports disputes is “comfortable satisfaction”. These are
just some peculiarities of the jurisprudence of sports law. It is apparent
that there is much for us to understand and comprehend in sports law in order
to best serve the Sports Industry. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With that
in mind, RWY decided to initiate this series of sports law conferences, in
2013. Today, we have the largest conference since. There are more speakers
sharing their views in this Conference that the 2 earlier editions <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and definitely a lot more delegates have
registered. While Everton Football Club had made the journey to KL last year to
speak in the Keynote Address about football financial fair play; this year we
are extremely honoured to have with us, our Minister of Youth and Sports and
the President of Olympic Counsel of Malaysia (OCM). Their presence inspires us
to continue with our effort in promoting this area.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ladies and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In
Malaysia, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sports Development Act
1997</b> is a statute of parliament governing the area of sports law
particularly the administration of sports. Unfortunately, this act of parliament
is due for an overhaul. For example, where there is an internal dispute, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Section 23 of the SDA</b> states that the
matter shall be resolved in a manner prescribed by the committee’s regulations.
However, if they are unable to do so, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Section
24 </b>allows the aggrieved party to refer the matter to the Minister for
further resolution. Effectively the Minister becomes an Arbitrator. Regarding
this issue of dispute resolution, we are of the view that the SDA should
reflect the worldwide trend of institutionalized dispute resolution agencies for
sports. It is time for Malaysia to have a national sports tribunal to resolve
any sports dispute. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2012, KLRCA
executed a memorandum of understanding with the Court of Arbitration for Sports
(CAS). Effectively the MOU appoints KLRCA as one of CAS’s arbitration centres.
These are exciting times for sports law practitioners, particularly in Malaysia,
where within our neighbourhood we now have an international court for sports.
With CAS here in Kuala Lumpur, the need for a national sports tribunal becomes
ever more important. I understand that there are plans to have such a tribunal
and we at RWY look forward to that formation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ladies and
gentleman, <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is our
view that Malaysia and even South East Asia should have a specific platform for
those interested in sports law to congregate. We are made to understand that
KLRCA wish to form a sports law association. We share that sentiment and would
support that idea. In fact for the last few months, Messrs RWY have actually
planned to form such an association too. We have drafted a constitution for
this suggested platform and even created a proposed Logo. We would suggest,
that if such an association is formed, it may be called the “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Malaysian Sports Law Association</b>”
(MSLA). <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6990024877337833070" name="_GoBack"></a>But we will heed the leadership of KLRCA and we
are willing to work together with KLRCA to form this association. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

fellow Malaysian and South East Asian lawyers to understand this area of law,
equip yourself and give high quality service to the Sports Industry. Why cant
we represent major athletes like David Beckham or Tiger Woods? Why cant we
export Malaysian lawyers to attend Sports Tribunal in other countries? We have
the quality, capacity and capability to do so. It is this ambition, that led us
to host and organise this annual Sports Law Conferences. We believe that
Malaysia can, and one day will, become the Sports Law hub in this region.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This is an article taken from Messrs Chavalit of Bangkok. Their partner, Mr Vira Kammee shared a podium with our Richard Wee when they both spoke at the This Arbitration Centre, back in September 2015.<br />

Our Partner, Mr. Vira Kammee, was invited to deliver a talk on the topic Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for Sports in Thailand. Vira Kammee, who has extensive knowledge and experience in arbitration within the area of sports, shared his vast experience with the attendees. Vira Kammee now sits on the Appeals Committee of the Thai Premier League (TPL); therefore he was able to share his valuable experience in the seminar.</div>
<div style="-webkit-transform-origin: 0% 0%; border-width: 0px; font-family: abel, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; max-height: 1000000px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

Vira Kammee focused particularly on the importance of arbitration and the role it plays in dispute resolution; not only on saving time but also the minimisation of cost. With the current backlog of cases in the Thai courts, Alternative Dispute Respolution (ADR) - especially mediation and arbitration - are the preferred method to find solutions for problems, and it is a much faster process. Having worked extensively in this field for such a long time, Vira Kammee’s experience and knowledge was of great benefit to many of the attendees at the seminar. Vira Kammee gave the audience a good overview of the processes and practices in Thailand.</div>
<div style="-webkit-transform-origin: 0% 0%; border-width: 0px; font-family: abel, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; max-height: 1000000px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

The seminar also included an open floor discussion, which lead to a good Q&A session with the audience. This session was moderated by Mr. Pasit Asawawattanaporn, THAC Managing Director; Ms. Athita Komindr, Executive Manager; and Mr. Richard Wee, Partner of Richard Wee & Yip.</div>

This was a great way to showcase our professional expertise and our firm to the public. The seminar as a whole was a great success, and we are proud to have had our partner there representing our firm.</div>
