What's next for FAM after FIFA's judgement? A fresh start will be a good start
THE verdict is out. FIFA have spoken. The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) have lost their appeal.

To be blunt, it was dismissed, and the FIFA appeals committee have put it in black and white.

What happens next will tell us everything about the kind of football nation we truly are.

We can choose to drag this through endless statements, legal jargon, and half-hearted apologies or we can do what we have never done properly before: take responsibility.

Because let's be honest - this is not just about seven players, a few documents, or one appeal gone wrong. This is about the culture that allowed it to happen.

Every time something goes wrong, we get committees, investigations, or task forces, all dressed up as solutions but designed to do one thing - buy time.

To date, a number of questions remain unanswered - who is the agent behind this? Allowances were given to these players, what was the expenditure like? This whole legal scenario, will it be borne from the government allocation? In the past, we were thorough with our applications but why the slip this time around?

And time, as we have learned, never fixes rot. It only hides it.

Tau kaya...tapi nape beria fighting the losing battle .

tiada kuasa di sini

si anak raja, berbalut merah biru
di padang terbakar berseru pilu.
sorakan berpudar, muafakat tersasar
nama dijahit di dada penipuan besar
asal disorok:
di bawah penafian!

pasport palsu, darah terjual,
rumput membisu, maruah terkebal;
cahaya menyingkap tiap guratan,
tiada ruang:
bagi penidakan!

diam menyaksi sisa yang hancur,
tiap helah tergelincir, terkendur.
kebenaran tegak tanpa seri,
dan kau:
tiada kuasa di sini!

so kalau menang kat CAS ni impaknya besar gak utk bolasepak antarabangsa kan? negara2 kaya mcm negara2 arab boleh beli pemain utk main dengan diorg... dan perkara yg pernah dibimbangkan (dalam piala dunia 90% pemain dari benua latin mewakili negara berbeza2) akan jadi kenyataan... harapnya player2 yg tiada langsung kaitan dengan kita ni akan kekal tak dibenarkan bermain utk malaysia kecuali yg betul2 ikut rule 5 tahun bermastautin...

Bro duduk JB or asal JB? Kalau asal, ramai tak kwn2 yg sokong dia? Saje la nak tau sebab org luar kan 😬

Apasal lah dorg ni asik nak fight benda yg terang2 salah. Ada benda yg xdisclose kepada umum ke? Surat beranak dah byk keluar. Tengok muka pun mmg mcm pure blood south american. Yang menyokong pun lain mcm.

Kalau menang, Malaysia akan merevolusikan bola sepak dunia dengan cara yang salah lol
