SPLC2019 aims to promote quality work-life balance

KUALA LUMPUR (7 NOVEMBER 2019): These days, work-life balance can seem like an impossible feat especially with the constant deadline pressures and constraints. One of the keys to avoiding burn-out and stress includes engaging in sports or fitness activities although finding a suitable outlet can be an inconvenience for some.

To promote healthier lifestyles among some of the busiest people in the commercial sector, Malaysia Purple League – the innovators behind the highly successful Purple League and Purple League Junior has introduced a platform where corporate firms can provide some balance for their workforce in the form of healthy badminton competition.

The inaugural Senheng Purple League Corporate (SPLC) season opens its curtains this weekend where corporate professionals will substitute their laptops for racquets as they prepare to take on fellow amateurs and semi-professionals in showcasing their badminton skills.

Eight top international and local corporate firms will feature in the first edition with the likes of Pensonic, LionMas, redONE, senQ drawn in Group A whilst OPPO, Top Glove, AEON Credit Service and AIG will battle it out in Group B.

The top 2 teams of each group will qualify for the semi-finals and ultimately seal a berth to contest the Final showdown towards claiming bragging rights and a playoff spot for a chance to qualify for the next edition of Malaysia’s elite professional badminton league – the Purple League in 2020.

Each tie will consist of 5 matches namely the men’s singles, men’s doubles (open), men’s doubles (combined age of 80 years old or above), women’s doubles and mixed doubles where teams will aim to win best of five 11 point games in each category.

CEO of Malaysia Purple League (MPL), Dato’ Jack Koh explained that the inspiration behind this ground-breaking tournament was to provide an avenue for MPL’s loyal sponsors to experience an organized and competitive league similar to their main event.

He said, “After six years of actively lobbying the development of badminton (in the country) and introducing innovative ways of making it more entertaining for fans through the Purple League, I am glad to note there is an increase in awareness and interest from private as well as government sectors to support our efforts.”

Former national badminton player and Coach of Petaling BC, Ismail Saman will be representing Top Glove in the inaugural Senheng Purple League Corporate which will kick off this weekend at Sports Arena Sentosa

“As a way to show our appreciation towards our corporate partners who have always supported us in any way, this Purple League Corporate will provide the best platform for corporate companies to have a feel of our tournaments and also get the opportunity to get more associated with the sport of badminton,” added Dato’ Jack.

To add star attraction to the competition, several clubs have added former state and national players to their ranks most notably Kuan Beng Hong and Ong Ewe Hock representing redONE; Ismail Saman, Daphne Ng and Tiffany Chase for Top Glove; as well as Yap Zhen, Kuan Kam Chung and Sannatasah Saniru who will be plying their trade for team senQ.

The first season of the SPLC will be played over two weekends with the round-robin ties scheduled to be played on 9th, 10th and 16th November before the semis and final on 17th November 2019 at Sports Arena Sentosa.

2019年新兴紫盟商业联赛提倡工作生活平衡

 

(吉隆坡讯)工作的压力和生活的逼人,已经逐渐让人忘记了何谓“工作与生活平衡”。其中一个减压的方法,就是运动。但要找到合适的管道,有时也并非想像中容易和方便。

为了让忙碌的上班族也享有健康的生活,大马紫盟联赛再次推陈出新,创办新兴紫盟商业联赛。

首届新兴紫盟商业联赛本周末拉开序幕,平时在办公室辛勤工作的上班族,将可在球场上尽情发挥,与业余和半职业选手一决高低。

前国手兼八打灵羽球俱乐部教练伊斯迈沙末将会代表Top Glove 出战这个周末在吉隆坡圣淘沙体育馆举行的新兴紫盟商业联赛。

8家外国和本地企业,将分在两个小组比赛。A组的4队是Pensonic、LionMas、redONE和senQ。B组由OPPO、Top Glove、永旺信贷和AIG组成。

两组的前二名跻身半决赛。冠军队伍将得到一张附加赛门票──胜出的话将取得2020年紫盟联赛参赛资格。

每一场比赛采取5场制,即男单、男双(公开)、男双(年龄合计80岁或以上)、女双和混双。一如既往,比赛采5局3胜11分制。

紫盟联赛总执行长拿督许少原披露,创办紫盟商业联赛,主要是为了回馈一向来对大马紫盟联赛支持有加的赞助商,同时让他们体验一个有规模和充满竞争力的比赛氛围。

“过去6年,我们致力于培育大马羽球新苗,并让紫盟联赛变得更有娱乐性和竞争力。我很高兴地说,无论是政府还是私人界,都给予了很积极的响应。”

“紫盟商业联赛是我们给予赞助商的小小回馈。希望通过紫盟商业联赛,大家会和羽毛球运动走得更近。”

为了增添星光,数支参赛队都积极拉拢前国手和州手助阵,其中包括redONE的关明鸿和王友福、Top Glove的伊斯迈沙末、Daphne Ng和Tiffany Chase,以及senQ的Yap Zhen、Kuan Kum Chung和桑纳塔莎。

 

 

 

 

小组赛订于11月9、10和16日挥拍。半决赛和决赛订于11月17日在吉隆坡圣淘沙体育馆上演。
