As the people of the world stop killing each other for a while and concentrating on competing in the olympics..here's a thought of what would the main games be if olympics were created in Tanah Melayu... (thanks Lizz..you inspired the thought)
1. Galah panjang.. a game of 2 teams of 4 idiots running back and forth to cross 4 lines that was guarded by another team. We will save cost of game venue coz we could easily use badminton courts for the game.
2. Kuda Longkang .. this is the race of speed. not technology wise but you will win if the current of the longkang you're competing on is on your side. For the instrument to race.. you can either use big leaves, paperboat origami or maybe ice-cream sticks.
3. batu seremban / ceper tutup botol oren : the games need a balancing skills using your hands. precision is the skills that you need. While batu seremban is the ladies event. Ceper tutup botol oren is the men's event.
4. bola chopping .. here's another cost effective game. Using the football field and a used tennis ball.. the game can be played by as many people as you want. The objective is to throw the ball to any person that becomes your target as hard as you can. Those who can't stand getting hurt lose.
5. Zero Point ... the acrobatic skills competition. Although this game of jumping over strings of rubber bands are meant for womens event. we'll make exception to include it the the mens event.
These are just 5 example of what would the main games be if Tanah Melayu created the olympics. And that does not include Sabung Keris (as to fencing), kerbaustarian (equine for kerbau) and much more...
What say you?
