World leaders and football

I believe the pictures, taken from various sources, say it all...

Clockwise: Malaysia's first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, US president Barack Obama, India prime minister Manmohan Singh, UK prime minister David Cameron, China president Xi Jinping and Malaysia's prime minister Najib Razak.

Anugerah Persatuan Penulis-Penulis Sukan Malaysia (SAM) bukan sekadar meraikan hasil laporan-laporan media terbaik setiap tahun. Ianya juga merupakan medan untuk para pengamal media sukan Malaysia berjumpa antara satu sama lain, mengeratkan lagi silaturahim sesama kita. Acara-acara sebegini juga merupakan "timely reminder" betapa pentingnya semangat persaudaraan dikalangan organisasi-organisasi and petugas-petugas media.  Malang sekali, saya tidak dapat hadir ke Hotel Seri Pacific, Kuala Lumpur pada malam Khamis lalu disebabkan hal yang tidak dapat dielakkan. Namun, tahniah diucapkan kepada para pemenang anugerah SAM 2023.
