KUALA LUMPUR, (AFP) — Malaysia, which lost out to Qatar in the race to host the 2006 Asian Games, will compete for the 2010 event but there will be no lavish bidding process, a report says.
The Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) has requested bid documents for the 2010 Asian Games, chairman Tunku Imran Tunku Jaafar was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times.
Much wiser after being beaten by Qatar in a closely-fought bidding war, Tengku Imran said the OCM would take a different approach by first seeking the support of fellow national Olympic committees when delegates meet in Athens next month.
