The football, the billions and the airwaves
Last week we heard of the trashing (5-1) of Malaysian team by China in AFC Asian Cup football tournament. Then a few days later we read in newspaper that China had singed a deal in giving us a loan of RM2 point something billion for the second the construction of second Penang Bridge. They stated it is the first time China is giving loan of that amount to other country. Do you think its a mere coincidence or is it really that Malaysian football team really really sucks? Everyone been talking about it… booing the national team on air etc….
Maybe there’s something we don’t know. But then, they (our national team) were trashed by Uzbeks too. Ayoyo.. sometimes, they can’t blame us for not supporting our local football scene. That community service on Hitz.fm is just a waste of airtime. You can be supporting a lousy team but not as lousy as this.

even layman like us trade stuff for better deals, so i dont see why our politicians not do the same anyways. our politicians if you observe are not that smart anyways…so, if really they did something like this, it doesnt surprise me.

is this something like pau?! but we’ve (my company) done it too in a triangular friendly football matches.
Of course we let the ladies of the insurer’s team get penalty kick goals etc…. but we bashed the other rival firm. Insurers are giving us business.
