In a bid to spread hope and create awareness about childhood cancer, BATS Restaurant & Bar is proud to announce a two-week-long charity campaign (18 Sept - 1 Oct 2023), and a spectacular activation event on 24 September 2023. This event, held at the renowned BATS Restaurant & Bar at Sunway Giza Mall, promises to be a heartwarming and memorable occasion for all attendees.

The Kids with Cancer Charity Event aims to bring together individuals from all walks of life who share a common goal: to support children battling cancer and to support their families who are weathering the storm emotionally and financially. Esteemed organisations, communities, and compassionate individuals are cordially invited to contribute towards raising funds that will directly benefit these extraordinary children and their families through our beneficiary National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM).

"We believe that no child should face the battle against cancer alone, and through this event, we aim to make a significant impact on the lives of these young fighters. By joining us in this campaign, you are not only providing much-needed support but also spreading hope and love to these incredible children and their families," shared Associate Professor Dr. Murallitharan Munisamy, Managing Director of National Cancer Society Malaysia.

On the 24th of September, BATS Restaurant & Bar is set to be an evening filled with entertainment, special performances, discussions by renowned individuals in the field of pediatric oncology who will shed light on the importance of supporting those affected by childhood cancer and opportunities to make generous donations. Guests can expect an inclusive atmosphere as they join hands to make a difference for these brave young fighters.

The Kids Cancer Charity Event will not only be an opportunity for individuals and organizations to contribute to a worthy cause but this will be a reminder of the resilience and strength demonstrated by these young and brave children. It is a celebration of life, unity, and the power of collective action in making a positive difference. Together, let's create a world where every child has a fighting chance against cancer.

Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia could be postponed but 'no hurry' to decide — AFC

ZURICH — The Asian Cup scheduled for January in Saudi Arabia could be moved back a year to 2028 "if we need to," the continent's top football official said, following a series of Houthi attacks on the country. But AFC president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa also said they were in "no hurry" to make a decision over Asia's premier football tournament. The 2027 Asian Cup is supposed to kick off on January 7 in the Saudi cities of Jeddah, Riyadh and Al Khobar. The kingdom has in recent days come under sustained attack in a dramatic escalation in the war with the Iran-backed Houthi group. "We can wait until the end of November," the Asian Football Confederation president told reporters in Zurich on Wednesday about a decision on the fate of the Asian Cup. "Things can change very quickly for better or worse in the region and it is a question of seeing what happens," he added. "If we need to make a decision then we will, but we could move back a year to 2028 if we need to. "But at the moment we are monitoring the situation and everything is on schedule." Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr saw their Asian Champions League match delayed by an hour on Monday after the Saudi-led military coalition said it had intercepted a missile fired towards Riyadh. Three matches in Saudi domestic football, including one involving Al Nassr, were this week postponed. The exhibition Six Kings Slam tennis tournament, due to include Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, was pushed back to the end of December. Australia, one of the 24 teams set to play at the Asian Cup, said this week it was "closely monitoring" the situation in Saudi Arabia. The organization representing South Korean players on Thursday said there was "serious concern regarding the safety of all players participating in the Asian Cup." "The ongoing military tensions and security instability in the Middle East are issues that cannot be taken lightly," said Lee Keun-ho, president of the Korea Professional Footballers Association (KPFA), according to Yonhap News Agency. Lee added that "no tournament's value can take precedence over the lives and safety of players and football fans."

NCAA: Generals snap Blazers’ 4-game win streak

MANILA, Philippines — Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) overcame a 19-point deficit against College of Saint Benilde, 86-78, to tally its third win in the crossover round of the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Thursday afternoon at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. The EAC Generals came off back-to-back losses at the hands of Jose Rizal University and Mapua University—and showed that they learned their lessons this time after defeating Group A’s top team, Benilde. Down by 19 points at the second quarter, 54-35, the Generals staged a comeback in the third quarter after trimming the lead to just three at the end of the third, 70-73, with Wilmar Oftana, Joseph Nunag, and Harvae Raymundo leading the charge. Heading to the fourth quarter, the Generals opened the frame strong with EJ Castillo scoring a two-pointer followed by Wilmar Oftana’s three to gain the lead, 75-73. From then on, EAC did not look back and did not allow the Blazers to take the upper hand, finishing the match with an 86-78 scorecard. “We like the underdog tag, because it’s true we are 2-5 in the standings heading to this game, and I told them that we should do whatever it takes and overcome any challenges,” head coach Jerson Cabiltes said during the post-game presser. Nunag led the scoring for the Generals with 17 points, five rebounds, and three steals, while veteran Oftana, Jacob Shanoda, and Castillo added 15, 13, and 12 points each. The Blazers were led by Justine Sanchez and John Morales, who both chipped in 16 points, along with Jhomel Ancheta and SJ Moore, who scored 14 and 11 points, respectively, but it was not enough to overcome the Generals. EAC improved to a 3-5 win-loss record in Group B, while the Blazers fell to 6-2.

Anna Leigh Waters sets December return for IAM Worldwide Pickleball Showdown

MANILA, Philippines — Wrapping up an action-packed three-day visit, World No. 1 pickleball champion Anna Leigh Waters officially capped off her Philippine debut on Thursday with a grand press conference at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati, while announcing her much-anticipated return to Manila on December 9, 2026. Co-presented by US equipment leader Franklin Sports and premier health and wellness brand IAM Worldwide, the exclusive press luncheon brought together media and sports journalists to celebrate the renowned athlete’s milestone first visit to the country. At just 19 years old, Waters stands as the undisputed World No. 1 in Women’s Singles, Women’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.  Fresh off claiming over 200 PPA titles and completing another Triple Gold sweep in the United States, she arrived in Manila as the headline star of the Franklin Asia Pickleball Showcase. Hosted by sportscaster Boom Gonzalez, the press conference highlighted Waters’ key brand engagements. During her segment with Franklin Sports, Waters discussed representing the pioneer equipment brand globally and sharing pro-level technology with local players.  She showcased her Franklin C45° Aurelius Signature Paddle alongside the blacked-out "Franklin Whip" prototype paddle used in her recent tournament victories.  Executives Jared Franklin (Head of International) and John Lynch (Head of Marketing), alongside her parents Stephen and Leigh Waters, joined the media appearance. Concurrently, IAM Worldwide welcomed Waters in her newest role as Global Sports Ambassador. Executive leadership—including President Allen Marvin Yu Eder, Vice President Aika Lorraine Uy, and General Manager Anna Mañego—welcomed the champion, who previously filmed a commercial campaign for the brand in New York City.  Waters demonstrated her daily health regimen using IAM Pure Organic Barley and Choco Barley, and shared IAM Amazing Organic Barley Gummies with the press. During the Q&A session, Franklin Sports outlined upcoming plans to support regional tournaments, youth clinics, and local equipment distribution through major Philippine sports retailers.  Meanwhile, IAM Worldwide executives emphasized that partnering with a World No. 1 athlete actively advances their mission of promoting health and wellness to a wider global audience. The event concluded with a ceremonial photo opportunity and gift exchange, featuring welcome bouquets and the presentation of Franklin ALW Signature Paddles. Following her Manila appearance, Waters continues the Franklin Asia Pickleball Showcase with upcoming stops in Malaysia and Hong Kong.  However, local fans will not have to wait long to see her back in action. Waters officially announced her return to Manila on December 9, 2026, where she will headline the IAM Worldwide Pickleball Showdown at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, an exciting event set to feature some of the country’s biggest celebrities and performers.

Rory McIlroy arrives in India with a new fashion style and renewed hope in Race to Dubai finale

Rory McIlroy arrives in India with a new fashion style and renewed hope in Race to Dubai finale

NEW DELHI — Since completing the career Grand Slam, Rory McIlroy has been constantly looking for new ways to inject some freshness and spark into his golf. Turns out two of his longtime Ryder Cup teammates are providing some inspiration. For this week’s DP World India Championship, McIlroy has brought along a new look — baggy golf pants. After all, Tommy Fleetwood has been wearing them for a while. “I have watched and I have admired Tommy Fleetwood over the past year,” McIlroy said, with a smile, on Wednesday's DP World Locker Room show about his style that has generated plenty of chatter in New Delhi this week. “And in my everyday life, when I don’t have to wear what is my golf uniform, I wear a lot of wide-legged pants. It is the in-thing, the fashionable thing.” But how, McIlroy was asked, do they feel to play golf in? “These hit a little low, maybe a little short … I understand they are maybe not as well-fitting as they need to be,” he said, “but they are a work in progress.” Also in the works for the Northern Irishman is a replica of what he calls his “performance trailer” that he uses in the United States to aid his fitness and recovery during and between PGA Tour events, in an effort to gain an edge over rivals. Now, he wants one for when he plays on the European tour, too. McIlroy said that idea came from tennis great Novak Djokovic but also fellow golfer Justin Rose. “I decided to pull the trigger on it when Justin won in Memphis last year,” McIlroy said. “He’s 45 years old, playing great, contending in major championships, and at that time I was 36. I was like, I want to play really well for the next 10 years — I feel like I need to do something like this.” McIlroy hopes to have that up and running by the summer of 2027 — by which time, who knows, he might have a record-tying eighth Order of Merit title that crowns the year’s No. 1 player on the European tour. There are four events remaining in this season’s Race to Dubai and McIlroy will play in three of them, starting in India. He is third in the standings, behind Patrick Reed and Eugenio Chacarra, but there's little between the three players and plenty of points on offer in the season-ending events in India, South Korea, Abu Dhabi and finally Dubai. While Reed has stumbled of late thanks to an injury-prompted withdrawal at the BMW PGA Championship and a missed cut at the Spanish Open, Chacarra is finishing fast by climbing above McIlroy thanks to a tie for third at the French Open and a tie for second in Spain. “It’s still anyone’s game,” Reed said Wednesday. The American said he was swinging freely after the shoulder injury he sustained at Wentworth. He didn't play in France or at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and returned to shoot 73-71 in Spain, failing to make the weekend. “For me, I was itching about getting back and getting out and playing,” Reed said. “Did I come back too early? Who knows. At the end of the day the good thing is I can’t hurt it worse, and because of that, I have the confidence and the comfort level to come out here and execute and perform at the highest level.”
