Yep. And all are given the same allocations by FAM.

It's nothing different that in other countries, just that we are not used to them either. For example the best Brazillians footballers are always almost comes exclusively from the poor black population. Only some from the higher elites whites have been involved, the most famous one is obviously Kaka.

Even in England, most of their football players comes from the lower income group, which is why years ago there was a stigmata against them, citing that they are usually rowdy, unlearned people. Only recently does this does not apply anymore.

For Malaysian, there is a certain mindset for taking football as a career. I have quite a lot of Chinese friends taking up sports, and while talking to them, most of their parents discourage them really from taking up football, since pay is low, and the chance of getting injured is high. It's not about them not having national pride, but looking at the bigger picture, playing football in Malaysia is not really a good choice for them financially and health wise.

But team wise, this is the first time I heard of an all Malay team trying to get into the Malaysian league. Sure, we also have the Piala Emas Raja Raja, which is exclusively to Malays, (MCFA and MIFA also has similar competition IIRC), but usually it's for state teams to blood youngsters.

I have nothing against them, but I do feel that it's not really about showing unity of races in Malaysia either. Oh well. Whatever floats their boat

I highly doubt that...

Well S-League is there also for the betting.

Haven't been reading/watching the news since, oh, the last 10~20 years?

Well I was only saying that you were wrong at that point. Mostly I agree with you on the other points, thus it was just a friendly sarcasm
