[edit] Izwan Firdaus

Singaporean athlete whose main claim to fame is competing at the World Junior Championships. This is way below the notability bar for sportspeople, who should win major international titles or perhaps compete at the Olympics to warrant inclusion. An event like the Asian Cities Games, on the other hand, gets 2 Google hits. Punkmorten 19:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
