Biggest assets

Before the Mat Cemerlang’s club is up and running, Putera Umno chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim has a strong contigent of 2000 guaranteed Mat Cemerlangs to become part of the founding members.
More than 2,000 Mat Rempits (bikers) roared in approval when Putera Umno chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim declared them to be one of the nation’s "biggest assets".
"They (Mat Rempits) are sorely misunderstood. Because of a couple of bad seeds they have been discriminated against as a bane to society," Abdul Azees said.
"I truly believe they have the potential and excellence to become the leaders of tomorrow. All they need is a chance to prove society wrong."
By seizing the moment of Merdeka and capitalizing on sentiment of fellow Mat Cemerlangs, Abdul Azeez has to make sure the Mat Cemerlang’s club is able to live up the expectation and not merely providing an illusion, else a cheap ride it is.
Nevertheless, I love this "biggest assets", sounds bombastic, loud and tastefully orchestrated too? What about giving the Putera’s chief the benefit of doubt?
