| PTV/GeoTV: | SAF Games 2004 |
| by Zareen Rana |
The much delayed Opening ceremony of 9th SAF Games got more delayed due to security risks to the 'overly popular' President. Although underlit, the ceremony was an overall good presentation, much thanks to chinese assistance asusual. But the commentator on PTV and GEO spoiled the show. How a person so utterly outdated and inept was put there in the first place is hard to imagine.. |
