When you try and force things down peoples' throats, they become more distant.
much like how the G people up there is forcing their version of 'patrotism' to rakyat?
when i was younger, i use to work part time as the ticket collector at stadium merdeka. (short stint for selangor games mostly). while my residence postal code is in KL, i grew up admiring selangor state team. They had good & had a myriad of
different malaysians reach.
but i grew tired of the shenanigans the malaysian football scene (nuff be said already). I use to play football & knew of a local lad who was very good & did tryouts for different states. He told me the ugly truths of our sad-state-of-affairs of our malaysian football. (mind you, he did eventually play for 1 team for 1 or 2 seasons in the malaysian league). I know that sad affair was to some, decades ago, but it brought down my regards for the local football scene completely.
I cannot relate much to our current malaysian squad. I thought there were hopes given some good showing by some younger players under K.raja. But the thing is, shoving such 'patriotism'in the name of "if you are malaysian, you MUST come support;

duh
it's like people ask why aren't your support all our goverment policies, arent you 'malaysian'?
I'm a Malaysian but that doesn't mean I'm lesser a Malaysian if you I dont support our Government policies. same parallel, If i don't attend a malaysian football game later, will I be lesser a malaysian?
