Malaysia To Use Armoured Vehicle For SEA Games Football Final
The Malaysian football squad may use Barracuda armoured vehicles to get in and out of the Bung Karno Stadium for the final match of the 26th SEA Games Monday, team manager Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin said Sunday.
He said the safety of the players was of paramount importance.
Hamidin said he hoped that the Indonesian Football Association and the police would discuss the matter because about 100,000 supporters of the Indonesian team were expected at the stadium area.
On the final match, between Malaysia and Indonesia, scheduled to kick off at 7pm (Indonesian time) Monday, Hamidin said he was confident Malaysia would emerge the winner.
"We have the experience of the preliminary Group A match last Thursday. I notice that our players are resilient and I hope they rise to the occasion tomorrow.
"We will prove that Malaysia are the best in Southeast Asia," he said. Malaysia beat Indonesia 1-0 last Thursday to top Group A.
Hamidin said Indonesia would be under pressure to deliver when playing before a home crowd desirous of nothing less than victory - BERNAMA

My coment: Nothing is more stupid than this. SEA Games is meant to foster harmony between nations but if it fosters hostility might as well we stop playing games. Instead, we play war.
