Malaysian football storm worsens as Selangor official quits all FAM posts
KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 — Datuk Seri Shahril Mokhtar announced today that he has resigned from the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), believed to be over the punishment against Selangor FC for missing the Charity Shield.
According to Berita Harian, the Selangor FC director said his resignation was for all his roles with association, including as the manager of the national under-23 team.
“I have officially resigned from all positions in FAM with immediate effect. The resignation letter was handed to the president and secretary-general this afternoon,” he was quoted as saying.
While Shahril did not state his reasons, his resignation is believed to be over the controversy exploding within local football over the decision to punish Selangor FC for missing the Charity Shield after one of its players, Faisal Halim, was targeted in an acid attack.
