If you are Malaysian and grew up watching live telecast of sporting event on the national TV station, then you should know Hasbullah Awang very well. One of a kind.
Watched the Asian Cup game last night between Malaysia and China, first on the Star Sport, but later stick to TV2 upon discovering the same game being shown and hosted by Hasbullah Awang.
Tip when watching the national football team in action; always opt for the live telecast hosted by Hasbullah Awang. That way you won’t feel much of the anguish watching our first eleven demonstrating the highest (read worst) level of Malaysian football. Hasbullah Awang will take charge of what our footballers failed, to entertain the viewers.
Last night Hasbullah Awang (HA) run the show with a co-commentator (CC) who I don’t remember his name.
HA: Itulah dia pemain dari China bernama Sun Xiang yang juga bermain untuk kelab PSV Eindhoven dari Belgium.
CC: Kelab dari Belgium atau Belanda?
HA: Belgium... Belanda. Err, Belgium.
CC: Belgium?
HA: Ya, Belgium.
Most football fans would know PSV Eindhoven is from Netherlands (Belanda).
But Hasbullah Awang keeps his cool. That is what that made a sport commentator great, made stupid remarks or mistakes sometimes, and acts cool about it. Don’t believe me; check out below comments made by English football commentator.
"Liverpool are outnumbered numerically in midfield." – Ron Atkinson
"McCarthy shakes his head in agreement with the referee." – Martin Tyler
"We are about as far away from the penalty box as the penalty box is from us." – Tom Tyrrell
"The World Cup is a truly international event." – John Motson
”Kevin Moran.....oldest man on the pitch today...35 years of age.....of course the referee could possibly be older than that ......and technically he's on the pitch too.....then again his linesmen could be even older than him... but are they technically 'on' the pitch.” – George Hamilton
See what I mean?

Ok! You are starting to scare me. You are not my boyfriend aren't you?!!!
Because we did watch the M'sia vs China on Star first and then changed to tv2 to so-called listen to Hasbullah Awang.

Hasbullah is an icon.

I watch Copa America with the volume turned off.
Bloody fucking hell.
Aku ingat dalam satu Piala Dunia tu Rahim Razali jadi komentator. Perlawanan pada jam dua pagi tapi dia pegi sebut jam dua petang.
Bila dia sedar silap dia pun betulkan dengan mata terjegil, "Eh bukan, bukan, bukan! Pada jam dua pagi..."
