Gold Medals To Save a Nation

Gold Medals Wanted... At this point in time, it is a worrisome time when Malaysia as a country fumbles.... Economics, politics and a divided people are part of her myriad set of troubles... In sports Malaysians generally sought relief and belief, and a little pride... It is shocking but the facts are out and Malaysians need to quicken our strides.. We are devastated, we were shamed when UAE soccer boys hammered ours 10-0.... Our bastion of pride, Datuk Nicol David the ever energetic Duracell Bunny.... Was dislodged from her record 109 months' reign as Woman Squash Number 1 recently... Our aging Datuk Lee, despite his playing years battle in badminton still for our country's pride... But the years have taken its toll on his invincibility and Malaysians must accept he is on a downward slide.... Together with the our Bunny squash queen, they each try their very best to honour the country.... All Malaysians take awesome pride each time the national anthem is played loud and clear... The anthem proudly proclaims a patriotic Malaysian who has battled tooth and nail to ultimately prevail.. Everytime a sporting son or daughter of Malaysia makes it to the winner's podium.. For now , Malaysians have heroes and heroines in squash, diving and badminton... But our nation demands many more from its citizens, for the country to forge on... For the elusive quality of a unified people is achievable and obvious in sporting glory... Unified in spirit, pride and fame, Malaysians can pull together and weather all storms.... So, children of Malaysia, go for gold in all kind of sports in order a troubled Malaysia can reborn... Go, Malaysia, go, go for gold! With your exploits, Malaysia is again a nation whole!
