Who was this people's?

Guys, even without FIfA sanctions, we should be questioning our lineup against Indonesia. Makan maluuu jer

Saifuddin:

Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said on Saturday the process of granting citizenship to the seven players had complied with the Federal Constitution.

The granting of citizenship through naturalisation is provided for under Article 19(1) of the Constitution and involves a strict vetting process before any decision is made, he said, as reported by the New Straits Times (NST).

“A naturalisation case refers to a situation where an applicant, through their family lineage - whether father, mother, grandmother or ancestors - has ties or origins from Malaysia,” Saifuddin said, as quoted by NST.

Describing it as a “very thorough” process, he said his ministry examines all documents submitted to ensure they meet every requirement under the law.

Saifuddin also clarified the decision is under the purview of FIFA and FAM, and that the Home Ministry’s focus is “strictly on citizenship matters”.

TMJ:

Johor’s regent Tunku Ismail and Malaysia’s former sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin, meanwhile, questioned who had lodged the complaint and why FIFA reversed its earlier decision.

“FIFA has already approved (the naturalisation) before, so why has the decision changed now?,” Tunku Ismail said in a post on X on Saturday.

“What led to such a decision? Was there any external party that influenced FIFA’s decision?” he added.

“Who was in New York?”

It is unclear who he was referring to in his New York question.

The Johor crown prince, who owns Johor Darul Ta’zim, the club that three of the seven players – Figueiredo, Irazabal and Hevel – play for, also took issue with how FIFA had publicised the penalties before the appeals process had concluded.

“We are not afraid and we will not bow to those who are worried about the rise of Harimau Malaya,” Tunku Ismail said.

KJ:

Khairy, a Johor Darul Ta’zim board member, called the reversal “strange” in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“FIFA had already approved their eligibility through the proper process. That means the documents were vetted and due diligence was done. Why change their minds now,” said Khairy.

KENYATAAN RASMI PERSATUAN BOLASEPAK MALAYSIA (FAM)

Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) mengesahkan bahawa pihak kami telah menerima dokumen penghakiman penuh daripada Persekutuan Bolasepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) berhubung keputusan tatatertib berkaitan isu dokumentai kelayakan tujuh pemain kebangsaan.

Dengan penerimaan dokumen ini, FAM akan mengemukakan rayuan secara rasmi melalui saluran undang-undang yang ditetapkan. FAM juga ingin menegaskan bahawa semua dokumen serta bukti sokongan berkaitan isu ini telah lengkap sepenuhnya dan sedia untuk dikemukakan kepada FIFA dengan kadar segera melalui saluran rasmi.

FAM memandang serius beberapa kesimpulan, khususnya dakwaan bahawa para pemain “memperoleh dokumen yang dipalsukan” atau dengan sengaja berusaha untuk mengelakkan peraturan kelayakan. FAM menegaskan bahawa tiada sebarang bukti yang menyokong dakwaan ini telah dikemukakan oleh FIFA.

Segala dokumentasi dan penyerahan berkaitan kelayakan pemain telah disediakan, disahkan, dan diuruskan sepenuhnya oleh FAM mengikut prosedur yang ditetapkan. Pada setiap masa, para pemain bertindak dengan penuh niat baik, bergantung sepenuhnya kepada proses pengesahan dan pendaftaran yang dijalankan oleh FAM.

FAM berpendapat bahawa penggambaran ini adalah tidak tepat serta tidak adil, dan perkara ini akan dibangkitkan secara menyeluruh melalui proses rayuan rasmi.

FAM kekal komited untuk mempertahankan kepentingan bola sepak negara, melindungi hak para pemain, serta memastikan proses ini berjalan dengan telus dan mengikut peraturan. FAM akan menggunakan segala saluran undang-undang yang ada untuk memperjuangkan kes ini.

FAM juga ingin menegaskan bahawa kes ini melibatkan dan mengandungi maklumat rasmi berhubung prosedur Kerajaan Malaysia bagi pengeluaran dan pengesahan pasport.

Selaras dengan peruntukan Akta Rahsia Rasmi 1972 dan Akta Pasport 1966, sebarang pendedahan berkaitan bahan atau proses tersebut tanpa kebenaran adalah dilarang sama sekali. Justeru, FAM terikat secara undang-undang untuk mengekalkan kerahsiaan terhadap elemen-elemen tersebut. Oleh itu, FAM hanya akan berkongsi maklumat berkenaan dengan pihak FIFA bagi tujuan kes ini sahaja.

What social media post?

Which one player?

LMAO

Still half the team is warisan dude

How is Morales "warisan"?

Did anyone watch the press conference?

The Harimau Malaya CEO named TMJ as one of 3 entities in local football.

1. FAM
2. Harimau Malaya
3. TMJ (his position is above the other two entities)

What nonsense is this? Also why the need to glorify TMJ and say it is his vision that brings Malaysian football forward?

The press conference had many funny moments but zero substance.

I’m curious Malaysian JPN can so easily issue a birth certificate, in some cases posthumously as some of the grandparents have died? What is the purpose of issuing birth certificate for people that are either dead or have no intentions of dealing with Malaysia?

It’s a very bad precedent. Higher powers were involved and they should be charged for treason. Simple really.

If FAM has any legitimate evidence it would’ve been shared with FIFA and with Malaysians. They have nothing, that much is simple.

How many of the 7 grandparents in question are dead? I imagine most are above 80 years old.

Actually it's so clear to see already who is the main culprit. That person is "over-compensating". Faham fahamlah

Jeng jeng jeng

No wonder some people are feeling the heat, turns out it was all a cheap scam. Those who have orchestrated and participated in this should all be sent to jail for their treasonous act.

Nobody is questioning their citizenship status, not even FIFA. The Home Minister has extraordinary powers to grant citizenship to anyone at any time for any reason.

The issue is, FIFA rules clearly state that a player can only represent a country IF:
a) Citizenship: Citizen for 5 years: OR
b) Heritage: Either one parent, or either one grandparent is born in the country

These 7 players of course don't fulfil criteria (a) and "certain people" colluded with the players to cheat and play for Malaysia via (b), I.e. the dead grandparents so called born in Malaysia. To this end, JPN issued "new" birth certificates for the dead grandparents.

I like how FAM keep sayin this is a "technical error".

My ass, we all know that this was a fraudulent attempt to circumvent the FIFA requires, plain and simple.

As to why these idiots still have their position, is anyone's guess.

Reformasi rings hollow, Mr Anwar.
