Tengku Abdullah Calls For Total Revamp In FAM

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 (Bernama) -- Former Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) deputy president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah has called for a total revamp in the association's administrative structure.
This could bring back the country's glory in the world number one sport, he said.
He said that after his resignation following the national team's awful defeat in Asian Cup 2007, he found the quality of the squad's performance had worsened.
"It is better for FAM to carry out an in depth post mortem to know the main causes of defeats and improve as soon as possible," said Tengku Abdullah who is now Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) president.
Such a big loss and easily beaten by a lesser known team showed certain weaknesses still existed, he told reporters after the handover of three Hyundai vehicles by Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors Sdn Bhd to MHF here today.
Last night, United Arab Emirates beat Malaysia 5-0 in the Asian Cup qualifier at Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium in Cheras.

tunku : the best is let the FAM run by professionals, not the royalties or the politicians. the professionals will have first hand experience about football than the non professionals.it is about time for malaysia's sport bodies to get rid of all the royalties and politicians unless the are professional in the particular fields.if not our sports level will be the same forever, too much politicking.

the royalties are not professionals.the politicians are not professionals.FAM should be run by professionals and not by people who think that they're professionals.

FAM is a like an old weak tiger.toothless.Malaysian team (and also all Malaysians) had to endure a defeat after another.the team that used to be feared is now the "punching bag" team.

FAM should try again to respect themself before earning the respect from all Malaysians.

bolasepak Malaysia sekarang ini hanya boleh gah pada fashion dan lagak semata-mata.rambut berwarna dan beristerikan sang artis.tapi mutu permainan?masih banyak yang boleh dipersoalkan.

Vietnam jauh lebih baik dari kita sekarang.ramai yang terkejut dengan pencapaian memberansangkan mereka.tidak hairan jika satu hari nanti ada pemain mereka yang bakal bermain di liga inggeris atau liga eropah.
