for the poll, i say NO.

i actually can't agree with the words that Chinese aren't allowed to play state and national football because of politics and claim that the sport is 'owned' and managed by the Malays. what a lame reason. people who say that are the ones who don't really follow or never watch Malaysian football at all.

as far as i know, Chinese and others like Indians have all been given fair and equal chances with Malays to play for the state and national teams. the reason why Malays are monopolizing the sport is because many of them are willing to give up other jobs or commitments. their parents are supporting them. but i can also see a very good number of other races especially Indians who play full time and managed to get into the top teams and the national squad itself.

it's actually not about races at all, but rather depends on individual's preference. won't blame some or maybe most of the Chinese parents for disallowing their kids to fully commit to football career, coz that's their own choice, their rights. so please stop pointing ur fingers to the Malays or any other races.

Therefore there is still a lot of chance for todays youth if they want to make it as a footballer but as said they have no gumption / balls / clue to even make enquiries to get on the right track . Their families are also the same , stuck in 1980 , when football was not lucrative , now even a guy in HK can make a good living just playing a game . Real dumb

There was this guy Scott Oleranshaw who played for Sabah a while back... he married some national karate girl... would have been great if he could then play for malaysia!

lamine conteh is good i think he also married to a girl from Malaysia.maybe we can ask him to play for us

but if we use local players and suck. it is still got room to blame. if we really gonna open up the doors for foriegn player and still suck. who will be the scape goat then?

Come on, with the bullshitting skill of all the top guys in FAM, I'm sure they can find something else to blame, like the idiot who chose the wrong foreigners to add to the Malaysia squad.
