Liverpool fans paint PJ red to celebrate Premier League victory
PETALING JAYA: Dataran 3 Two Square was awash in a sea of red on Saturday as more than 600 Liverpool fans flooded the area to celebrate the Reds' latest Premier League triumph. Organised by KL Kopites, the official Liverpool supporters' club in Malaysia, the event featured a fully-wrapped Liverpool-themed double-decker bus, photo ops with a replica Premier League trophy, and lucky draw giveaways that had fans roaring with delight. Liverpool clinched their second title in five years in emphatic fashion on April 27, thumping Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield to give new boss Arne Slot the perfect debut season. The Dutchman's side sealed the league with four games to spare, equalling Manchester United's record of 20 top-flight titles. "It's the first time we've done a proper 'bus parade' here in Malaysia," said KL Kopites president Sashidaran Nair. "We had this planned in 2020 when Liverpool won the league under Jurgen Klopp — the bus was booked. But then COVID-19 hit, and we had to cancel everything. "This year, we're giving the fans something special. They can hop on the bus, take pictures with the trophy replica. It's all about recreating that iconic Liverpool celebration atmosphere." The event also saw over 40 prizes up for grabs, including match tickets to Anfield and autographed jerseys from Reds legends Harry Kewell and Lucas Leiva. Veteran fan Jordan Chan, 47, who's supported the club since the 1990s, said the parade was like a dream come true. "This kind of celebration gives me a whole new experience — it's like being in Liverpool," he said. For 25-year-old Megat Amir Irham Ahmad Mahidin, it was a long-awaited moment. "I didn't get to celebrate the 2019-2020 title win because of the lockdowns," he said.
