Seeing red

Red is the colour of Manchester United. Red is also the colour of the Democratic Action Party. And nobody in the DAP comes closer to being a Red Devil supporter than their secretary-general, Lim Guan Eng, who also happens to be the Penang Chief Minister.

In this story in The Malaysian Insider, Guan Eng was quoted as saying (grammatical error and all):

"Whilst the intervention of a peerless individual may prove divine, the victory by Man United in the Champions League proved that champion teams do not consist of one individuals but all 11 players. No matter how awesome and majestic a player, he can never make a football team champions. Ronaldo proved it that when he blew the penalty, but his team-mates stepped up to win the championship. Teamwork matters now more than ever. A leader's success is now determined by the ability not only to gather the best and brightest but his or her ability to mould them as one and meld them with one heart, one mind and one soul. Only the subordinates' success decides a leader's legacy,"
