Quiz- How did Sarawak get that bronze?

How and why indeed? Chua Soi Lek got it partially right. Maybe Klang Valley people have better facilities. That was also the question I grappled with when we decided to go to KL to fight for our place from Perak. There has not been a Perakian on the National Squad for over 10 years until Mark finally made it. And the one that did make it 10 years previously had his history mysteriously erased from Perakian history. Even the PICA President Chan was telling me it cannot be done. Perak is too backwater. Too kampung or too Ah Piow.

I think what Chua and Chan could not see was the difference between healthy competition and destructive competition. What they could not see is the power of the human spirit when it is nurtured.

So the simple answer to the quiz is that the Sarawak spirit is not as damaged as the Klang Valley spirit.

With the right spirit you can even run without legs. Is that not shown at the Olympics? Is that why they use the flame as the Olympic symbol?

I was just thinking, all our International competitors should accord the Greg and Jimmy team the red carpet treatment whenever they travel. Between the 2 of them and their cronies they ensure that all Malaysian investments in our players get squandered on the shores overseas. We spend and we spend and we take back almost nothing. We invest and we invest and they arrange to have our players banned or knocked out from back door entries.

And to add insult to injury the overseas players then come to our shores and take away all our top prize money while they churn out one lame excuse after another. Our overseas competitors have no better friends than these 2 guys. They don't really even have to train their players to beat us, Greg and Jimmy are both doing their jobs for them by knocking out our own players. How they must be laughing.

Do you think they are paid for a job well done? What do you think the mysterious Asean appointment was about?

So why do a few people honour these guys on our shores? I cannot think of a worse sort of scum. They destroy us from within; by pretending to be one of us. And some really dim witted people think they are heros. What a twisted reality?

Too strong? Read the next posting of my psychological evaluation of our Olympiad team. Then lets see if the theory pans out at the Olympiad and if it justifies what I have said above and elsewhere.
