Keep fighting until final whistle, Anwar tells Harimau Malaya

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has urged the Harimau Malaya soccer team to keep up their winning spirit in the upcoming Fifa Asean Cup 2026 third-place playoff. Despite their 6-0 win over Singapore, Malaysia failed to advance to the final. Anwar expressed pride in the team's determination throughout the campaign. The fight for a victory is not over yet, and the focus is now on the third-place playoff against the Group B runners-up, likely Vietnam. The final against Indonesia and Thailand will also be held at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Monday.
