🇲🇾 Asia Pickleball Summit 2.0 — bridging nations, strengthening relationships and elevating pickleball to the highest levels of Malaysian sports governance.

The presence of YB Mordi Bimol at APS 2.0 is a powerful reflection of the growing recognition of pickleball within Malaysia’s national sports ecosystem — and a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to fostering a vibrant, inclusive and globally competitive sporting landscape. 🏓🌏✨ APS 2.0 has proven that pickleball is no longer just a sport — it is a vehicle for international collaboration, knowledge exchange and nation building.

A sincere thank you to Max It Media for the comprehensive press release that captured the significance of this milestone so beautifully. 🙏📋

✨ The future belongs to the young — and our job is to build the strongest, healthiest environment for them to grow in. 🌱🏓

We are so honoured and grateful to be featured in The Star News — ASEAN Plus for our work in growing the pickleball community across Asia through Asia Pickleball Summit. 🗞️💛 This recognition means so much to us — not just for APS, but for every young player, coach and community builder who is out there right now quietly building something beautiful for the next generation.

Thank you The Star for believing that this story is worth telling. We promise to keep building. 🙏✨

You might walk past him on the street and think he’s just a regular guy. But let us tell you — he is anything but.

Meet , Chief Business Officer of , Vice President of and the Organising Chairman behind 🏓🌏

Behind every world-class speaker that took that stage. Behind every brand that set up their booth. Behind every sponsor that believed in this event. Behind every sleepless night, every unanswered message that eventually got replied, every “no” that slowly turned into a “yes” — Ken was one of the people who kept showing up, kept pushing forward and kept believing when it wasn’t easy. 💪✨

And what most of you will never see — the rejections that came one after another. The sudden emergencies that needed to be solved in minutes. The unexpected changes that hit at the worst possible moments. The weight of carrying an event that was running out of funds, yet still finding a way — somehow, someway — to keep it all alive and moving forward. 🙏💛 None of that made it to your feed. None of that showed up on the event floor. But it was all very real, and it was all faced with quiet strength and an unshakeable determination to deliver something meaningful for this community.

And of course — none of it could have been done alone. Every single person who trusted us, believed in us, supported us and stood by us when things got hard — YOU are the reason this event became what it was. Words truly cannot describe how deeply grateful we are. From the very bottom of our hearts — thank you. 🙏✨

Over 1,500 participants. 14 countries. World-class international speakers. An experience that moved every single person who walked through those doors. 🎙️✨

Ken — we see you. Thank you for being one of the hearts behind this movement. APS would not be what it is without you. 💛🔥

This is the man behind the magic. And the story of Asia Pickleball Summit just getting started. 🚀

WHAT A RIDE. THANK YOU. FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.

We came. We connected. We grew. Together. 🏓🌏⚡

None of this — not a single moment of it — would have been possible without YOU. Every participant who walked through those doors, every hand that was shaken, every conversation that sparked a new idea, every session that opened a new door — YOU made APS 2.0 the most incredible chapter in this journey so far. From 13 countries, over 850+ passionate pickleball lovers showed up and showed OUT — and the energy in that hall is something we will carry with us for a very long time. 🔥🙏

To our world-class speakers, panelists and emcees — thank you for sharing your time, your knowledge, your stories and your hearts with our community. What you gave to that stage was priceless and we are beyond grateful.

To our sponsors, partners, exhibitors and everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes — THANK YOU. You are the engine that powers this movement. Your trust in APS means everything to us and we do not take it lightly for even a single second. You are not just supporters — you are family. 💛🌏

And to the entire Asian pickleball community — this is just the beginning. The connections made at APS 2.0 will ripple across Asia for years to come. The seeds planted in that room will grow into something extraordinary — and we cannot WAIT to see what blooms from here. 🌱

ASIA PICKLEBALL SUMMIT 3.0 IS COMING. More impactful. More activities. More sessions. More insights. More of everything you loved about APS — amplified to a whole new level. 🚀🔥
Stay locked in. Stay connected. The best is truly yet to come. 👊
