aw13 is honorary lifetime member and non-executive director of the Al-Ikhsan Sports Sdn. Bhd. His job duties include:
1. supervising the handling and managing of the football jerseys and printings departments of Al-ikhsan all over Malaysia
2. promoting the arrival and availability of stocks to the public through medias like the internet
3. Eliminating any competition to Al-Ikhsan via any means necessary.
I qoute the above from his biography found in the ALi website, changing his real name to his nick to adhere to his privacy policy.
Ai ya you guys before Al-Ikhsan come out and sue me la! haha
Actually, to tell you the truth, it's nice to hang around sometimes helping out new collectors in sourcing, application etc. Kinda fun to watch the newbies getting the hang of jersey-collecting, very satisfying at times. Part of the same reason why myself and schmeichel7 initiated My-FJC as well. Of course, along the way, we did meet up with some taiko collectors, but to me no use if you can't share the knowledge and information around, so that everyone can enjoy the passion of collecting kits.
There are some ppl whom I've met who are very very reluctant to 'reveal' sources, and sometimes come across very arrogant. I've met the same type of ppl here online as well, so goes to show that not everyone likes to share. Of course, there are the risks that some information may be misused, but hopefully such information shared are still beneficial to the collecting world at large, as opposed to the profiteers.
And the promotion? No monetary benefits involved, just that I feel it's sometimes very sad to see some collectors looking high and low for items that are readily available in KL. And Al-Ikhsan's BB Plaza stocks are all original, competitively priced and also quite up-to-date, so what's the harm in sharing such information?
