Beko-PUBC Junior Foundation Gets Fund Injection
Beko, the number one freestanding home appliance
brand in Europe, has injected an additional fund of RM60,000 into the Beko-PUBC
Junior Foundation to support badminton and youth development in Malaysia.
The fund was officially presented by Chan Lock, Chief Executive Officer
of Beko Appliances Malaysia Sdn Bhd to Irina Inozemtseva, Team Manager of
Puchong United Badminton Club (PUBC) in a mock cheque presentation ceremony.
The Beko-PUBC Junior Foundation was launched on 21
September 2016 when PUBC secured Beko as a main sponsor for the 2016/2017
season. Utilizing Beko’s financial support and PUBC’s competitive badminton sports
management, the Beko-PUBC Junior Foundation was established to provide badminton
trainings for children from the age of 6 to 18 years old.
Chan Lock said “The Beko-PUBC Junior Foundation is established
as a contributor to the sports and youth development in Malaysia. Beko and PUBC
share a vision to encourage the young generation to engage in badminton to lead
a healthy lifestyle, build their physical and mental aptitude to achieve
success in life, cultivate their sportsmanship spirit, and be inspired to be a
sportsperson for Malaysia.”
Chan Lock added “The Beko-PUBC Junior Foundation is
an excellent platform to demonstrate Beko as the “Official Partner of the
Everyday”. Beko home appliance products are developed to support homes and
families so that they can enjoy their everyday lives, including living a
healthy lifestyle.”
Irina Inozemtseva, Team Manager of PUBC, said “The young
generation are the future leaders of our country. Therefore, as a club which has
successfully managed teams of global top ranking badminton players and coaches for
world-class competitions, we feel it is important to organise capability building
programmes, to cultivate a new generation of athletes who could rise to global
prominence for Malaysia. We are pleased that the Beko-PUBC Junior Foundation
programme has also built friendships, discipline and teamwork among the young participants,
which are beneficial in their personal growth.”
A total of 50 children have been undergoing a
programme of boot camps and weekly badminton trainings with PUBC coaches since
December 2016. The additional fund will be utilized for advanced badminton
training until July 2017. Potential young players from this programme will be
given the opportunity to be part of the PUBC junior team in the next Malaysia
Purple League season.
The Beko-PUBC Junior Foundation is a corporate sector initiative that
supports the government’s vision for Malaysia towards a sporting nation. Malaysia
Budget 2017 has tabled RM1.2 billion for the country’s sports development programmes
which include athlete preparation programmes construction and upgrading of
sports facilities, and hosting of the 29th Sea Games and the 9th
