3 Stupidities in One Day

Yesterday aku ambil ½ day leave to repair my car. Sadly aku witness 3 kebodohan manusia yang membuatkan aku berfikir adakah rakyat Malaysia semakin bodoh or aku yang semakin pandai? Hahahha....

Stupidity #1. (EON Bank Officer)

Every month aku akan bayar credit card base on statement yang aku minta dari kakitangan bank. I will not wait for the posted statement since ia di addresskan ke kampong aku. So, every month I will ask the officer to print out the statement before aku check then bayar. I’ve been practice that for years, aku pergi to any EON Bank branch and minta statement then bayar. But yesterday, seorang pekerja bangang di EON Bank cawangan Section 9, Shah Alam telah mendatangkan masalah kepada aku. First he said he can’t print the statement. I need to go to their credit card HQ at KL and ask for it. I tried my best untuk tidak gelak dan politely said please check with your colleague since aku pernah dapat statement itu dari cawangan lain even dari cawangan ini. Dengan tidak puas hatinya dia tanya manager dan rakan sekerja yang lain. Then, he admit dia boleh keluarkan statement tu. Bila aku dah bayar, he stop me from bring the statement out because he said he should not print it out and pass to me. So, he afraid he will end up in trouble. Aku malas nak cakap banyak, aku koyak-kayakkan statement tu then campak dalam beberapa tong sampah yang ada dalam and luar bank. Dia tercengang sambil garu kepala. Dalam hati aku berkata… “macam ni punya bangang pun boleh kerja bank ke?”.

Stupidity #2 (Malaysian Olympic football team)
Any individual related to that team, aku classify sebagai bangang. Lawan Hong Kong pun boleh kalah? They manage to control the game and create few chances. Aku and few friends yang tonton perlawanan tu di Stadium MBPJ semalam memang sakit hati. So, I believe if not all, but there must be somebody yang betul-betul bangang yang menghasilkan kekalahan itu. Players, jurulatih, management or maybe kesemuanya sekali. Yang pasti bukan fans, since aku boleh lihat ramai juga yang memberi harapan kepada mereka. Ramai yang datang terus dari pejabat since mereka masih berkemeja dan kasut berkilat. Keluar RM10.00 dan disajikan dengan permainan taraf budak sekolah menengah, memang betul-betul bodoh…!

Stupidity #3 (Pasukan bola sepak Kedah)
Kedah lost to Perak 0-1 last night. I not saying mereka bodoh sebab kalah. Perak bukan lah pasukan belasahan yang boleh menjadikan Kedah sebagai bodoh jika kalah. Lagipun from the delayed telecast last night I would say, Kedah control the game and they deserve at least a point. Last night not the best performance from Perak. Aku cuma rasa player Kedah bangang base on two incidents. First, very last minute of the match, Perak’s striker Keita Mandju terjatuh (no fault) di hujung padang kawasan Kedah. I’m not sure he plays an acts or injured betul-betul. But Kedah’s goalkeeper ignores him and just took goal kick and continues with the game. When ball reached to Perak’s keeper hand then, he throws the ball out so referee boleh panggil paramedic masuk. There is a rule that say player tidak boleh tendang bola keluar hanya untuk memberi laluan kepada petugas perubatan merawat rakan atau lawan mereka. Hak mutlak hanyalah kepada pengadil perlawanan. Memang ada peraturan sebegitu, tetapi ianya hanyalah peraturan tambahan yang di keluarkan oleh England FA untuk perlawan bola sepak organize by them, EPL, FA Cup and League Cup. I don’t think FIFA, UEFA or even FAM applies same rules. Maybe player Kedah watch too much EPL game and follow that rule.

Ok, maybe I’m wrong, FIFA or FAM memang dah guna peraturan baru tersebut, but the 2^nd incident memang menggambarkan kebodohan mereka. After Keita Mandju dapat treatment and continue main, Kedah sepatutnya sportingly ‘give’ the ball back to Perak. But tanpa rasa bersalah player Kedah teruskan serangan. Pada minit 80 something, pun sama, bila Ahmad Shahrul injured, player Perak kick the ball out to allow paramedic in. Then, player Kedah yang ambil throw in, straight away continue the game without pass back the ball toward player Perak. This is the first time aku tengok benda ni, pada aku betul-betul bodoh lah. Maybe Perak’s players berlakon injured untuk curi masa since they leading, but player Kedah should handle it professionally. I knows, Kedah try to defend their undefeated record for 23 straight games Imagine, in 2007 Kedah tidak pernah kalah. So, this young bunch of player eager to maintain the record sampai lupa semangat kesukanan. Maybe technical and tactically they good, tapi yang pasti mereka sedikit bodoh semalam.
