The Umpire of the Game

Now the game is at its crisis. On one side is the UMNO team led by Pak Lah and on the other side is PKR led by Anwar.The Police force is the "Umpire" of the game. Being an umpire the police takes no side but to ensure the game is played fairly according to the rules.

Once a while a more influential party may insist the umpire to take side, it is up to the integrity of the umpire to play his role independently. Otherwise the game is spoilt by the umpire and may even cause an uproar from the spectators.

Here in Malaysia PKR is claiming to have enough MPs to take over the rule of the nation. There UMNO is threatening to stop the game for fear of losing it. Others in the UMNO associates just wait and see, hoping to benefit from the game. They are no players at all, just opprtunists. They have no idea of the game but just to hike along for some tip bits.

When this game is over, whoever may be the winners, these hikers are not respected by any party at all. The are sound board holders, good for echoes but no voice of its own.

We hope the game will be over soon. We are expecting the umpire to watch and be alert. Do not forget outside the ring of the game is also a ring of guards, ensuring everything is in order. The Cheif of the guards is also watching and monitoring closely the progress of the game.
