Arsenal and Malaysia

Two matches in one day, that would be a great satisfaction for a die-hard football fan like me. But, greater disappointment for me as for a DIE-HARD Arsenal fan, they drew at Wigan side. So unfortunate to witness a draw after the ultimate win against Chelsea. Sigh..

Anyway, I am happy and proud that finally, Malaysia lifted the AFF Suzuki Cup!! AFF Suzuki Cup is the most prestigious tournament in South East Asia, which Thailand and Singapore dominated the tournament for so long. Malaysia beat Indonesia 4-2 in aggregate! They didn't lose to laser beam anymore!! The team, though did not play so well as what they had in 1st leg, they extended their gap with a wonderful goal in Indonesia. So glad to see that.

But, if the government is as competent as what the team did, I am proud of them too. Seriously, the government still has a lot of space to improve.

According to a journalist :
"‎The only thing that makes Malaysians stand together regardless of race, religion or political affiliations is when we support our national team. 1Malaysia is nothing compare to sports." (Nicholas Chan, 2010)"


True enough! Everyone is cheering for them( Football fans, if you are not one of them, just put the hands together for what they did, though it might not happen next time - it's HISTORY! ). I hope that this will not be the next Thomas Cup for you. 
However, it's sad to see not even a single Chinese playing in the national team like what we had last time, for instance Dato' Soh, James Wong .....isn't there any Chinese player in the league at the moment? ( I have been long time out of the clique with the local league, sorry).


1Malaysia is not a public announcement blindly anymore. It can be a simple/great achievement through anything. For example sports! Sports unite all people regardless of race, religion or ideology. Yes, it's proven!

Well done Malaysia!
