Machuca thanks his grandma for Malaysia shirt
KUALA LUMPUR: His footie-loving granny worked hard to get him to play for a national team in the other side of the world. The Argentine-born Imanol Machuca attributed his move to Harimau Malaya to his Malaysian grandmother. In an interview with Spanish media outlet, Sabado Velez recently, the 25-year-old winger said his Malaysia debut was a "unique experience", one made possible by his grandmother. Machuca played a key role as Malaysia thrashed Asean powerhouse Vietnam 4-0 in an Asian Cup qualifier at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on June 10. In retrospect, Machuca thanked his grandmother for making his Malaysia dream a reality. "I got a phone call from my grandmother. She had been working on this (joining Malaysia) for a while. I had been talking about it for some time, but never managed to make it happen. Thank God, this year I was finally able to play. It was incredible." Speaking ahead of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, Machuca, who plays for Velez Sarsfield FC in Argentina, also talked about his Malaysian adventure. "There's a lot of passion in Malaysia. When the announcement (about Machuca playing for Malaysia) was made, the post got 15,000 likes and so many comments with the Malaysian flag. I want to send a big hug to all Malaysians," he said. Machuca said he was charmed in his first visit to Malaysia. "It's a beautiful country. Economically stable, the cities are very nice, although the weather is quite humid and hot. "People are friendly. They treated me well, and the culture is impressive. "I have been in contact with the coach (Peter Cklamovski). I hope they will call me again. I had a great experience in the Asian Cup qualifiers. We did well and I hope we can win our next two games (against Laos on Oct 9 and 14)."

Art gallery extends Asean exhibition to Dec 31
PETALING JAYA: Due to overwhelming public interest for the upcoming Asean Summit in October, the National Art Gallery has decided to extend the 'A Gift from Asean Exhibition' until Dec 31. 'Launched on Feb 17, the exhibition features 33 unique artworks presented to Malaysia by Asean members and Asean+6 nations such as South Korea, Japan, China and India, between 1960 and 2009,' said the National Visual Arts Development Board in a statement yesterday. It said the exhibition was initially scheduled to end on July 31. 'This initiative reflects Malaysia's commitment to making art and culture a core pillar in strengthening regional ties and promoting art as an effective medium of cultural diplomacy. 'These works reflect strong diplomatic relations and a shared cultural heritage through diverse visual art expressions. 'This exhibition supports Asean 2025 aspirations to promote unity in diversity by using visual arts as a catalyst for knowledge sharing,' the statement said. It also said artworks by prominent artists included those from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, China and India. According to the website of the National Art Gallery of Malaysia, the artworks on display 'clearly show that while art from this region has many different styles and histories, these differences are also somehow linked, and influences are still present and even blend with the modern art being created in the region today'. The public is invited to visit the exhibition, which is open daily from 9am to 5pm at the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur.
