The 2nd Asian Indoor Games in Macau during October 26 – November 3, 2007. Please feel free to visit the 2nd Asian Indoor Games website, and you will see the IF is the Macau Muaythai Association, which by the way is a member of IFMA. As for the 24th Sea Games which will be held in Thailand during December 6 – 15, 2007, IFMA has been appointed the controlling body. The sport in these games is called Muay, which we are not in agreement with, as the official sport is Muaythai under GAISF, and we are proud to be affiliated with it. On that note, Pioneer’s statement that the “Asian Championship” in India is apparently recognised by the OCA is a little funny, as the OCA does not recognise the sport of Muaythai, but the sport of Muay.

Dear Readers,

My aim in informing you is not to cause a stir or rather a 'ping pong' effect that will soon become very exhausting for all you readers. Instead I aim at informing you of happenings with our sport of Muay Thai or 'Muay' as known in particular international tournaments from credible sources.
In achieving what I have set out to do I will submit various valid documentation for you to read and evaulate for yourselves.

#1 Below are letters from the MAIGOC inviting Mr. Santiparph Intaraphartn (president of FAMA) (Federation of Amateur Muay Thai of Asia) to attend the 3rd OCA (Olympic Council of Asia) Coordination Commitee in Macau; it also states the necessary information.

FAMA

Furthermore, the organizers of this event have been using the name and logo of the pre-existing Federation of Amateur Muaythai of Asia (FAMA), a member of IFMA, under the presidency of Mr. Karim Massimov who is the current Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Vice President of the Olympic Committee of Kazakhstan. This action is problematic for Asian IFMA member countries and therefore will be presented to the Court of Arbitration of Sport by representatives from these member countries.

*the president of FAMA (Federation of Amateur Muay Thai of Asia) is Mr. Santiparph Intaraphatn;(a member of the World Muay Federation (WMF)) which is the so called 'used name and logo' of FAMA that has been accepted for the Asian Indoor Games & also the Pre Indoor Asian Games in India. with evidence seen in the letter posted below
