interesting practice

All the 7 players have Malaysian grandmas? Same grandma?

This part FAM need learn from Konoha
Just publish Names and Grandma ties

The big guns all say FAM had followed the procedure, but avoid mentioning if the documents submitted were genuine.

The only way FIFA can justify it is if they can provide the hospital record showing that the grandma was born outside Malaysia or if that country can provide the original birth certificate. There might be a whistleblower but hard proof is still required. The onus is on FIFA to show that the document is not genuine such as through hospital records, primary school records or testimony from neighbors in another country. It’s the same as trying to prove you were born in PJ if your birth certificate is lost.

Read another way, Point 3 basically means there is no hard and direct evidence.

Seriously, is it about winning? Or enjoying the game for what it is. What happened to honesty and fair play?

Anyone considered the feelings of local genuinely Msian players?

During the FIFA committee appeal, yes, but in an external court FIFA must already show proof of why they disagree. For now you can still prove the grandma was born in Malaysia based on document from JPN. FIFA can still reject it without giving a reason just like certain courts here that sometimes reject appeals without justifying their decision which feels abusive.

But honestly it’s not hard to prove you were born here right. Your neighbors, your primary school records, your relatives all of them are strong proof. If you were born in PJ there would surely be plenty of evidence right.

Bring the case to the Courts and dig the rabbit hole deeper?

FiFA has already given its reason and justifcation - fraud.  This is an international organisation with due process. They are not suci murni but these decisions need to be demonstratably fair with clear evidence to be accepted by the global soccer fraternity.

The examples u gave are secondary evidence at best and not strong, and contestable. But do you really want to do this? The integrity of Malaysias governance is at stake. You know what is going on here.

Something like that.

But more of lax checks.

An analogy is airport checks la. Not all luggages screened or screened properly...

But now there is a whistleblower ..

Spanish club files complaint as FIFA bans Malaysia's naturalized player in 'global scandal'

Media outlets in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Spain have reported extensively on the sanctions, describing the incident as a "global scandal."

The suspension affected not only the Malaysia national team but also multiple clubs across three continents. Alaves lost their key defender in La Liga, Velez must adjust their squad mid-season, and America de Cali face potential complications for Holgado, who is under contract until 2026.

r nadeswaran wrote a good article on this in Mkini.  And one of the comments is really ‘ interesting’. .  There is another article in Mkini about the same issues as well.  One of the comments were so direct, pinpointing who…

Which boy?  The boy whose name cannot be mentioned? 🧐

Really?  Got articles to read on this?  I read somewhere also that a former Filipino who played in our league made some comments.  And then in that article, references were made to the 3 (was it 3?) Filipino players in our M league, which that former player was in some way ‘insinuating’ something…. Same article?

kalau takda pemain warisan, kita buat pemain warisan 

Kat negara sendiri buat apa pun boleh, rakyat tak berani persoal.  But bawa perangai yg sama sampai ke luar?  Kena londeh seluar la jawabnya

Just need to provide evidence of them colonists, be it Portuguese, Spanish, The Netherlands, or British, if one of those naturalized player's forefather participated in the conquest of Malacca and fucuk with a local girl. Easy peasy...

This part may be
1. Phillipines has big pool of heritage players to choose currently playing in Europe and US, though mostly lower tier league.
2. Some heritage players demand money to play.
3. Some heritage players refused call up.
4. Some local clubs unwilling to release player for non FIFA games
