Shahril targets culture of fear in pitch for FAM presidency
KUALA LUMPUR: Labelling himself the underdog, Selangor FA (FAS) deputy president Datuk Seri Shahril Mokhtar has officially hit the campaign trail for the FA of Malaysia (FAM) presidency under the #BeraniBerubah (Dare to Change) banner.
Kuala Lumpur - Shahril Mokhtar, Selangor FA deputy president, has launched his presidential bid for the FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) under the #BeraniBerubah (Dare to Change) campaign. The 5-pillar reform manifesto targets the fear culture and yes-men prevalent in the national governing body. Shahril, labeled the candidate for change, will face MFL president Datuk Ab Ghani Hassan in the Sept 17 election.
His campaign emphasizes institutional reform, transparency in FAM management, and eradicating the old, compliance-driven culture. With three decades in corporate management, Shahril believes his experience can transform FAM within the next two to two-and-a-half years. He criticizes the neglect of affiliate members and criticizes FAM for not providing proper allocations, even to Selangor.
Despite the historical presence of incumbent Ghani, Shahril sees himself as the underdog and rates his chances at 50-50.
