Too busy with border agency duties, Shuhaily turns down FAM integrity post
Footballing body respects decision, appreciates his past commitment to strengthening association's integrity, governance.
On September 30, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) announced that Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay would become the chair of the integrity committee, with Shuhaily Zain as his deputy. However, Shuhaily Zain declined his position due to time constraints and his responsibilities at the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS).
FAM respected his decision and expressed appreciation for his earlier readiness and commitment to help the association strengthen its integrity and management. This decision followed a forgery case involving seven naturalized Harimau Malaya players, which garnered global attention last year. FAM and the players were penalized by FIFA for submitting falsified birth certificates to confirm the players' eligibility for Malaysia's 2027 Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam on June 2022.
