Malaysians! Should you do this with us?

Malaysia is one of the countries in the world I have visited most. It is bacause I did my MBA there, and it is also a country of cultures, languages, and religions. Malaysia was always my first chouce when thinking about holding any oversea convention. Frankly I had proposed to my bosses about organizing our Midle-Manager Conference 2014 in KL or Penang and my boss supportively agreed. If you have not visited this country, you can never imagine how amazing this country is and my only suggestion is... NIKE (Just do it!).

Vietnam and Malaysia are two countries in the same region called ASEAN. We have many things in common: Asian, Developing Countries, Multi-Religon, Diversified Cultures, Strongly Influenced by Chinese, and still poor! In sports games, Vietnam and Malaysia are competitors; this is normal as many other countries are the same. Many Vietnamese workers have come to Malaysia for earning livings. Many hi-qualified Malaysian have come to Vietnam for business. We are using a lot of made-in-Malaysia furniture. Many students have come to Malaysia for study and many universities, training agencies have come to Vietnam for educational opportunities.... In general, we are
developing a mutual benefit relationship, between two countries and between two peoples.

What an apology for what happened last night at Shah Alam stadium when the football match between Vietnam and Malaysia were going on. 80,000 Malaysia fans on the stadium, 11 players on the ground, and one referee on Malaysia's side. The referee is Chinese and I am definitely not confident in the Chinese (say A, do B!). Many people assumed Malaysian played with 13 players: 11 themselves and 2 from referee and fans. Final results: Vietnam 2 - Malaysia 1. The result told nothing. Win-Lose is a must in any games. The way you behave during the game tells more. Many team lost but their culture, their behaviors and their attitudes show their win, the win is not from the game, but the win is to people's hearts. Just think on another side: what would happen if Vietnamese fans attacked Malaysians in My Dinh Stadium when Malaysian Team played there in some days? You hit me on your ground, and I hit you on my ground, and you do the same next, I do the same next... when will this end? Many Malaysians are Muslim, then Buddists... We are Buddhist, Christians... In any religion, Buddha, or Christ, or Ala tells his fellows not to try to revenge and try to manage yourselves. You should (and must) not tie each other with hatred. Living in harmony and peace is ever wish and pray of all GOOD people in any corner of the world, trust me!

Malaysians! I believe what happened last night does not represent your country and people. But I believe many Malaysians feel unhappy with what happened last night and I am sure many Malaysians will try not to let this happen again, will you?
