Shuhaily tolak pelantikan timbalan pengerusi jawatankuasa integriti FAM

FAM berkata ketua pengarah AKPS tidak dapat menerima pelantikan itu kerana kekangan masa dan tanggungjawabnya.

Shuhaily tolak pelantikan timbalan pengerusi jawatankuasa integriti FAM

Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, the Deputy Director of the Malaysian Border and Security Protection Agency (AKPS), has rejected the appointment as the deputy chairman of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) Integrity Committee. FAM stated that Shuhaily declined the appointment due to a lack of time and duties at AKPS. FAM expressed respect for his decision and acknowledged his previous willingness to help FAM strengthen integrity and administrative aspects.

FAM announced the appointment of Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, a former deputy chief of the national police, as the chairman of the Integrity Committee, with Shuhaily as his deputy. The appointment of Ayob followed an investigation into match-fixing involving seven Malaysian national team players who received global attention last year.

Both FAM and the seven players received sanctions from FIFA after it was discovered they used forged birth certificates to prove their eligibility to represent Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers against Vietnam.
