Shuhaily declines FAM integrity committee deputy chairman’s post
The AKPS director-general cites time constraints and his responsibilities at the border control agency.
Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general Shuhaily Zain has refused the position of deputy chairman of the Football Association of Malaysia’s (FAM) integrity committee. The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) acknowledged Shuhaily's decision and expressed appreciation for his previous willingness to assist the association in improving its integrity and management.
Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, a former deputy inspector-general of police, has been appointed as the new chairman of the integrity committee following a forgery case involving seven naturalized Harimau Malaya players. The case, which garnered international attention, prompted FIFA to penalize FAM for submitting falsified birth certificates to confirm the players' eligibility for the 2027 Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam.
