Ibrahim to give up the hot seat

PETALING JAYA: The FA of Malaysia (FAM) general secretary, Datuk Seri Dr Ibrahim Saad, will vacate the hot seat when his two-year term expires next month. 

The FAM president, Sultan Ahmad Shah, said he had received in writing from Ibrahim of his intention not to renew his contract after his last day in office on Aug 15. 

"He (Ibrahim) has done a good job. I must thank him," said the Sultan. 

Ibrahim took over the post from Datuk Dell Akbar Khan two years ago. 

"I will not bow to pressure. I am not a coward," said the Sultan, reacting to the public outcry calling for the FA top brass to resign.
