PM INVITES SOCCER FANS TO WATCH EPL MATCH AT SERI PERDANA

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has invited soccer fans to watch the English Premier League (EPL) football match between Manchester United and Manchester City at his Seri Perdana residence in Putrajaya on Sunday at 8 pm.

Najib, an avid fan of Manchester United, extended the invitation on his www.1malaysia.com.my website, asking those interested to register at http://bit.ly/rmH8tz and bring along a friend as well.

The registration exercise will be open up to 5 pm tomorrow, he said.

"After having watched several football matches in a group, including at Jalan Bukit Bintang and with youths at Putrajaya, I decided to organise a similar session on the night of Sunday Oct 23.

"This gives me the time to ''lepak'' (hang out) with my Facebook and Twitter friends," he said.

After having played eight matches, Manchester City top the EPL table with 22 points while Manchester United are second on 20. -- BERNAMA
