Doha 2006

FESPIC games ended in glorious fashion but I don't really know if Malaysians did really follow the games which was organized on our backyard. Honestly , I cannot name any of our heroes who made Malaysia proud !! Viva Malaysia !!

If you happen to watch the Asian Games 2006 opening ceremony ( Its in Doha , Qatar if you don;t already know ) , I guess you would agree with me saying that it was impressive. For an arab country i must say it was spectacular. The amount of money they spent only on the opening ceremony itself i reckon would be able to feed thousands who's in dire straits for food in Somalia. Just look at the fireworks display towards the end of the show , definitely 10x better than KLCCs.

I salute the arabs for their gimmick in lighthing the main torch of the games.The arabs have always been proud of their own culture ; this was exhibited well during the feature presentation about their warriors on horses. It was vintage seeing the prince of Qatar with his stallion , climbing the 45o specially made stairs to the main cauldron.Pure effort and muscle !! I wished we had done something of a similar theme during the 1998 Commonwealth games. We Malaysians are no pushovers you know !

The organization skill of arabs has always been a debate. The fact that how the Arab countries are not united despite the "money-power" they have is a clear example. To few who had personal encounters with the arabs ( anywhere in the world ); will agree with me that they can be really disorganized! I do hope that the games will proceed in a good manner though we've heard how our athletes were treated after the opening ceremony !!

Malaysia Boleh !!!!
