Did you know that our dear Jib Kor is a sports fan? As in, he enjoys playing sports. He even has his own personal trainer.

This is in regards to National Sports Day 2015 happening on 10 October, aiming to spur Malaysians in adopting a healthy lifestyle and lead to higher productivity. He has promised to participate in sports activites during National Sports Day celebration.
Here is Najib playing golf

This is Najib playing hockey
Najib announced the government's pledge for the 'Projek Hockey 1MAS' programme over a three-year period, starting 2011.

Najib kicks a ball
There is a running joke that 'Jib Kor' jinxed Spain, England and Brazil during the 2014 World Cup. The three teams that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak expressed support for crashed out of the World Cup. It was reported that before the World Cup, Najib said he was sentimental about England, liked the way Brazil played but predicted that Spain would retain the title.
However, Spain was crushed 5-1 in its opening match against Holland, and England failed to clear the group stage. Also, Brazil suffered its worst ever defeat in the semifinal against Germany, where the host nation lost 7-1
On second thought, maybe he should stay clear from this sport.
Najib stretching with confidence before cycling (his personal trainer must have taught him that)
Our favourite, Najib goes kapchai street racing with Rosmah

Image via The Rakyat PostOk lah, this isn't considered a 'real sport' (illegal actually) BUT we are Malaysians after all and those screaming, screeching tyre sounds you hear at night has to come form somewhere right?
We tried searching for Najib plays badminton, but this is the closest thing we found #closeenough
Badminton must be more of Rosmah's sport.
