Was Ng Ser Miang's IOC bid killed by VB's failed YOG?

[Confuseous]

Ng just lost to Thomas Bach of Germany.

Ng Ser Miang's qualifications for the bid of International Olympics Committee (IOC) President - reputedly most powerful man in sports - were listed as President of organising committee of 2010 Singapore Youth Olympics, vice-president of International Sailing Federation 1994-98, and non-resident Singapore ambassador to Norway.

The "Pros" in his favour:
Candidate from Asia, continent of increasing influence; organiser of inaugural Youth Olympics, affable personality, popular with members, diplomatic experience.

The "Cons" against his selection:
Seen by some as "too nice," not viewed as having imposing public presence, potential opposition from some Asian countries.

His own assessment of his "Strengths":
"I am proud to be Asian, but I'm also global. To lead a world organisation, it is necessary to have a world view. Being from Asia is also advantageous because I would bring to the table a different perspective."

Ng was supposed be among the top three, and one of two candidates from Asia, the other being C. K. Wu of Taiwan.

Nice try, Mr Ng, but no cigar. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to mention the botched Youth Olympics Games involvement.

Sillypore can't really handle that small YOG events well.
If given the chance to organize Olympics, more screw up in many areas will be expected.

We are seen to be undemocaratic, in the rank of North Korea
where freedom are somewhat curbed...we ranked 154th on Freedom press index

so IOC has quietly blacklist us which is the proper thing to do..

Well done..IOC..Keep the signalling on...otherwise, small despotic nations will have its own way ,uncheck.

Thanks for doing the check and balance for us....

Simple logic: the President should at least come from a sporting nation. How many gold medals did Singapore win again?

Singapore youth Olympic is laughing stock from other country
1. Using stadium with 5000 seat capacity
2. Using University hostel for official and participant as hostel.
3. Using old bus some even Malaysia bus(using Malaysia plate)
4. Most sport venue is in university or very old sport facililty.
5. F&B is low quality and planning is poor

 

[bakkuttay]

300% overbudget,

true. that criterion alone will eliminate sg and tw. the two up there were just token sacrificial lambs for show. they already knew the winner from the beginning.

 

[red amoeba]

at onset his name is included to make up the numbers. Traditionally, this position has been occupied by ang moh and like the IMF/ World Bank shit, you need the blessing of the gods.

Reminds me of the famous story of Goh Chok Tong stepping aside for Ban for the Secretary of United Nations...someone probably fed him lies that he had a chance.

anyways, not bad...a holiday in Argentina...,mixing with latinos...wondering if he drove his luxury yacht there or not.

Singapore does not have enough political weight or sports successes to show for that will qualify him for receiving the 'continent bonus'.

Singapore - none.

Chinapore - 1 silver.

lianbeng noted ur point 5: chap chye peng under-cooked white rice + a few sticks of yellowed chye tau (long beans) + 1 thin slice of frozen expired chicken patty!

 

[laksaboy]

Had Ng Ser Miang become IOC President, sports such as wrestling would be eliminated and certain sports which boost the chances for Singapore's medal mercenaries would have been promoted.

Well done IOC, you have dodged a bullet.

The joke is that ng and SPH were doing a lot of media exposure on ng as if he had a real chance.
