Najib's Political Football: Strive as good as Trash the Opponents
by Mariam Mokhtar@www.malaysiakini.com
English footballer Ian Wright once said: "I've got the passion but no idea of tactics I'd be similar to the black Kevin Keegan." Is this an good description of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, the wannabe football player?
Last Saturday, the football-mad Najib used Euro 212 as an result for BN to "strive similar to football players to trounce their opponents". Sir Stanley Matthews, one of England's excellent footballers, once said: "Whenever you see the bald male travel down the travel you never think, 'there's the male who has finished the lot of worrying', you think, 'there's the male who looks similar to he was the good header of the ball'."
We were wrong to assume which Najib has mislaid sleep as good as hair from worrying about the expected outcome of GE13. Najib contingency have been bustling in his backyard, heading balls in to the net.
Employers additionally be concerned which Najib will stipulate football heat again. In 2010, the Malaysian 
team won the AFF Suzuki cup against Indonesia. Patriotism price companies dearly. Absent workers meant which orders for goods were unfulfilled, as good as those who incited up for work, had to be paid 'public holiday' rates. Cynics mocked Najib as good as wondered if he would acknowledgement the month-long holiday should Malaysia win the World Cup.
At the opening of the Urban Transformat! ion Cent re in Malacca, Najib boasted: "The Euro 2012 contest substantially will not see the record measure similar to what you goal Barisan can achieve in the 13th ubiquitous election, but you am confident you will emerge with 14-0 with 0 for the opposition. We will trounce our rival; let them go behind with the 0 score." [sic]
It is widely good known which soccer is the 'beautiful' diversion but is it the gentleman's game? UMNO is not good known for the sportsmanlike behaviour.
Most soccer coaches would discuss it the budding player which if he were to rehearse tough enough, he competence be able to turn professional. The finish justifies the means; BN has had 54 years of use to 'win' each compare by any means, together with foul-play as good as match-fixing.
To achieve success, the football group contingency have the clever counterclaim as good as the constant core of strikers as good as wingers who have been rebuilt to take risks. A good physical education instructor will advise you not to be motivated by glory, which good sportsmanship is vital, as good as to desist the titillate to sow the round or uncover off.
So isn't Najib deluded? UMNO tends to sow the metaphorical ball, the celebration is important for rough tackles as good as they have been consumed with their 'image'. To Najib, winning is everything as good as he has already pronounced he would urge Putrajaya at all costs. The difference of Bill Shankly mirror Najib's views: "First is first, as good as second is nowhere."
The PM, who has an inflated perspective of his own 'brilliance', is just similar to Cristiano Ronaldo, who once said: "If you am declared the best in the world, it won't be the warn to me."
'Numbers do not meant support'
Both Najib as good as Rais Yatim, his Minister for Information, Communications as good as Culture, have deserted the rakyat's demands for free, clean as good as fair elections. They lied about the 250,000 ! turnout for BERSIH 3.0 as good as contrasted this with the 66th anniversary UMNO celebrations at Stadium Merdeka, which they claimed was orderly, good attended as good as distant superior.
Alan McInally said: "England should've won against Croatia because they had 800 million people in the stadium," while John Motson described the Emirates Stadium thus: "The atmosphere inside of the Emirates Stadium has really softened since Arsenal moved here."
Najib competence have claimed which 100,000 people gathered in Stadium Merdeka, but which does not meant he has the support of Malaysians or the backing of the Malay community.
He is wakeful he contingency win GE13 at all costs. The memories of former premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's leadership of UMNO as good as BN's waste in GE12 in 2008 have been fresh in his mind.
Ian Wright once said: "Without being too oppressive upon David Beckham, he price us the match." When Gordon Banks said, "The goalkeeper parried the round or, as you used to contend in my day, he couldn't reason it," he competence as good have been describing Abdullah.
On hindsight, UMNO members competence additionally simulate upon Yossi Benayoun's words: "We played similar to the bunch of drunks", as they remember GE12.
A word about the Opposition group would be appropriate. Brian Clough once said: "The FA didn't suggest me the job as England physical education instructor because they thought I'd have too most changes, stir things up as good as cause them problemsand they were bloody right".
His remarks remind us of Anwar Ibrahim's bust-up with former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Today, Anwar as good as the antithesis coalition, with the long list of reforms, have been causing problems for BN.
Najib's group physical education instructor has to be M! ahathir. Before he left Arsenal, Thierry Henry said: "I am not going to leave. Never. you am staying here for life." Weary Malaysians have been anticipating the spirit of Henry in Mahathir. Despite his retirement, Mahathir still dabbles in Malaysian politics.
A allude to from George Best sums up Najib: "I outlayed the lot of money upon booze, birds as good as fast cars. The rest you just squandered."
It is always the poor rakyat who suffer. They have been hampered by the Election Commission (EC) which is not wakeful it is violation the rules. We sometimes feel similar to Gary Lineker, who once declared: "A sport is when your palm touches the ball."
We have been exasperated with the EC's doing of Malaysian elections as good as again, sorrow with Lineker: "My granny could substantially have managed Brazil to World Cup success."We feel the same approach about the EC, or Najib as good as GE13.
MARIAM MOKHTAR is the non-conformist conventionalist from Perak, the bucket chemist as good as an armchair eco-warrior. In 'real-speak', this translates in to which she comes from Ipoh, values shift but respects culture, is the inorganic substance chemist as good as additionally an environmental pollution-control scientist.
