Assalamualaikum and Hi!
For the first entry, I will be telling a story of perhaps the greatest son of Selangor. He was not a politician, nor was he a pop star. He was a footballer. Although footballers nowadays, even Malaysian ones, receive constant adoration and are paid hefty sums of money, he was a footballer at a time when footballers had to keep a day job just to live comfortably. But that was enough for him. Whereas politicians constantly divide the people’s loyalty and pop singers demand fans’ adoration for their own selves, he only united his fans under two flags; those of his birth state Selangor and his country, Malaysia.

| Mohd Mokhtar bin Dahari |
Mokhtar bin Dahari was born on 13 November 1953 in Setapak, Selangor, and from an early age he showed his aptitude for sports. He would play various sports with his neighbourhood friends such as badminton, but in the end he would gravitate towards the beautiful game; football. Attending the prestigious secondary school Victoria Institution also brought him closer to playing football at a higher level, and spurred on his obsession for football. At the age of 18 he would play for the Selangor youth team in the Burnley Youth Cup that was held in Sarawak.
