Well well well. I guess everyone has read the story of how some Sarawak players are under police investigation for match fixing? This is sickening stuff to read. In 1994 a good generation of footballers were implicated and suspended and Malaysian football was forced to start anew. Anyway, back in 1994 Malaysia's football standard were already downhill. When will our football standard improved? This question had been asked and debated by many. So many factors are being cited. Definitely i can say is the amateurish management standard in all level from FAM to State FAs is one big factor.
We can't entirely blame it on the players alone for this issue. When we know very well that several states have failed to pay the players salary, EPF? Hell! do we expect the players to have the heart to turn up for training let alone playing competitive matches? The rot has long started lah...it started when politicians are involving themselves in football scene. As Razif of UK Rovers said, a top management position can easily help politician to gain the needed publicity and profile in his party and the public. This in turn will booster his chances of climbing up the party ladder. How true is that! Well, to me the grassroots structure must be enhanced or forever we can just dream on of seeing Malaysia in top flight football again.
