Premier Finals vs STAR,Kolek lost 5-11

Why can't we revive the Rugby Song of 1958 as sung by the junior Cheergang
under the leadership of Suhaimi bin Kamaruddin aka Suhaimi 'Cengkurik' ?
Even though it is a half-century old but it must not be made to disappear as I
believe the tune and lyrics can still work out well for a new Cheergang of Kolet,
if someone will care to lead. But of course the Kolet players must wear black.,
not because of possible mourning following defeat but because black is the
traditional colour of the attire worn by Hulubalang Melayu (Malay warriors).

And why should the players sing whatever song with a Bush-like salute?

Lagipun menyanyi macam tu nampak seperti orang sedang sebak, seolah-
olah takut akan kalah atawa patah hati kerana kecewa dalam percintaan.

NJ Ryan was MCKK Headmaster from 1959 through 1965. WanMohadMahyiddin aka G-Ding (a Tarinaga) was first ever person from Kampung Gaal, Kelantan, admitted to MCKK.
Ryan, an Irish, worked later for Longmans Malaysia while G-Ding served UMNO as its Research Officer for a very long time.
David Marshall, an Iraqi Jew, was a very successful criminal lawyer and served Singapore as its first Chief Minister in the home-rule government, leading a Workers' Party-MCA(Spore)-UMNO(Spura) coalition. When he did not achieve full success in the second Merdeka talks in London he resigned as Chief Minister and was succeeded by the Deputy CM, LimYewHock.
After Singapore separation from Malaysia on 09 08 1965, Lim Yew Hock opted for Malaysian citizenship and was posted to Australia as High Commissioner. Later after Tunku retired as Prime Minister to take up appointment as Secretary of the Islamic Commonwealth in Jeddah, at the behest of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, Lim converted to Islam and joined the Tunku there.
David Marshall was in Kuala Kangsar for a court case and had accepted Ryan's invitation to present his views on the Malaysia concept scheduled for implementation on 31 08 1963 and the Confrontation declared by President Soekarno in January. Malaysia's establishment TOOK PLACE ON 16 09 1963 owing to the delay in the submission of the Report of the Cobbold Commission set up by the UN to determine the views of the peoples of Sabah Sarawak and Singapore.
While the UN endorsed the Report, the Philippines, Indonesia and Pakistan broke off diplomatic relation with the then Malaya because of the non-recognition of the new Malaysia.
