Korea vs Malaysia

Korea 2-0, won over Greece, the Euro 2004 champion.
This is not a joke, they really played well, not depended on luck like what people thought during the World Cup when they co-hosted the competition 2002.
They might not be the champ yet but they really improve.
The Korean team always reminds us the Merdeka Cup during 70's, when Malaysia team was still "on par"with Korea and always met in the final.
That was a big thing for Malaysian during that time, all people will look for friends, neighbour, coffee shop, etc whoever has black & white TV to watch the final between Malaysia vs Korea.
Sometimes Korea won, sometimes Malaysia won. But we were proud that time.
But now, when Korea team eyes for the World Cup, Malaysia team still talking about Merdeka Cup, satisfy and happy to be the champion by inviting those lower rank teams to participate.
And the joke is we still talking about those star during 70s like Mokhtar Dahari, Soh Chin Ann, Santokh Singh, etc.
Like we never play football for the last 30 years.

To STOP or NOT to STOP?

Car robbery, in fact, not only car robbery, is very serious in our country now.
My friend drove his 1 year old BMW 3 series along Jalan Ampang, KL the other day after visiting his brother in the hospital.
It was late night, not many cars on the street. Suddenly he felt something like stone hit his car. He tried to look at the back if any cars followed him.
There are few cars but nothing suspicious.
He decided to stop his car and take a look. When he stop his car, the car at the back suddenly stop also and 4 man came down. He is in dilemma, to stop or not to stop.
One of the man knocked his car with knife and pull him out from the car, so, it was a car robbery. The man cut "slightly" my friend's finger, it bleed. Then they took all his wallet, mobile phone, etc with his BMW.
"Luckily", my friend is safe.
And we joke with him," You are lucky, your finger was only cut not chopped. But in fact, you should drive away when you saw the car at the back stopped ."
The other friend said, "But what happen if they are police, they might shoot you from the back."
This is a sad joke, no intention to blame the police. But this is what actually happen to most of the people.
To STOP or NOT to STOP?
