Politicians are like soccer players

First, prominent candidate for Penang CM Lee Kah Choon leaving Gerakan, then Dr. M, Sanusi and his son Mokhzani leaving UMNO followed by Ezam joining UMNO. After that, Nijhar leaving MIC and Tan Kee Kwong leaving Gerakan. Politicians are like buy-in and sell-off soccer players. If BN political parties are visualized as soccer clubs, the soccer magazine might want to write the description for each struggling club in the following manner. Lets call the league where the clubs are playing as EPL (Electoral Polling League).

1. The UMNO FC aka Red “Kris” Devils
This is the most adoring club among the Malays who seem to be die-hard “makan bola, tidur bola fans of Red Devils. In many games, the referees’ decisions seem to be in favor of Red Devils when it comes to games involving this club against their nemesis. There are some players from BR FC who had been banned for a few years in ISA captivity for been seditious to Red Devils. All the while, the club has been proud proclaiming themselves above the others as the best among the best. This is the only club with Nikee dagger logo printed on the players’ shoes, a sign of their supremacy over other clubs. In the last season, the manager’s decision, Dollah Ferguson to replace some senior players with the new players had created a lot of dispute. Their over confident attitude over BR FC had jeopardized them for another perfect league. As a result, the club lost 4 major games in Kelantan, Kedah, Selangor, Perak and KL. With players such as his beloved talented striker, KJ Rooney in the fray, they are currently a lot of backstabbing by other senior players such as Ku Li Ronaldo.

Due to continuous dispute over the top management, the honorary patronage owner, Dr. M Chalton has resigned from the club followed by Mokh-Nisterooy and Sanusi Beck. To strengthen the misfire in the strikers, Dollah had bought an ex-BR FC player named Ezam to fortify the midfield for the coming season.

2. MCA FC aka The “Yellow Star” Blues
This club is the backbone of the Chinese supporters. Its deteriorating performance in the league was mainly contributed by the scandalous, power struggle in management and failure to execute the Red Devils factor. Owned by a controversial and powerful figure, OKT Abramovich. This man is so powerful that he masterminds the club’s achievements quite well, even to the extent of its players. The club is full of scandal. It lost a caliber manager, CS Lek Mourinho, due to his erected act with a woman just before the EPL season begin. The club’s decision to follow Red Devils’ strategy was seem to be the wrong idea, which cause the team to mangle at the end of the season. Still flip-flopped with internal dispute over the snooping job within the club. Many supporters are leaving, losing their faith in the club, which they had supported since 1940s.

3. The MI FC aka The “Sam” Reds
This club used to be the favorite among the Indians. The club owned by Uncle Sam, got nothing much to show off after it fails to protect some of its fans from been put in captivity for raising match issues against the Red Devils. A few senior board members such as Nijhar Rush, has left the club after serving for so many years.

4. Gerakan FC aka The “KK” Gunners
The KK stands for kiasu and kiasi because many of the club’s managerial team and players are mainly island minded people from Penang. This club always stays in the shadow of Red Devils. After humiliating defeats in almost all of the EPL matches including the embarrassing home defeat in Penang, some of its key players like Thierry K Kwong and KC Vierra have resigned and set to join BR FC for another record transfer.
