Shahril offers to clean up FAM in one term
KUALA LUMPUR: 'Let me run FAM for one term, I will clean it up, implement reforms and walk away.'
Datuk Seri Shahril Mokhtar has offered to become the president of the National Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and clean up the organization in a single term. Shahril, a 53-year-old corporate figure and former FAM vice president, currently serves as the deputy president of the FAM of Selangor. He stated that his primary focus would be to fix the much-criticized national body before stepping down.
Shahril believes that a fixed one-term mandate would enable him to make tough decisions without the pressure of securing a second term. He has previously resigned from the FAM executive committee and his position as national Under-23 team manager over the handling of the Charity Shield dispute involving The Red Giants in 2024. Shahril emphasized that FAM is a sports organization for the people and that whoever contests for the position must have sincere intentions.
