The FA of Malaysia (FAM) took a major step towards reform after its Congress accepted AFC-proposed amendments to its statutes, as honarary president Tan Sri Hamidin Amin keeps his options open over a possible return as president.

An Asian Football Confederation audit finds FAM had been operating outside its statutes for more than a decade, with governance, finance, risk management and administrative functions receiving some of the lowest audit scores. https://t.co/2l6DDLbwYm

One thing that @FAM_Malaysia can quickly fix - allow access to ALL media (especially those with accreditation cards by @JPenerangan) to attend press conferences & events. @MFL_MY should do the same as well.

Putrajaya, esp @KBSMalaysia, and sponsors must read AFC's audit into the FA of Malaysia in detail and ask themselves if the millions of Ringgit they have "invested" into the national body have been worth it.

The findings are damning.

Don't be fooled by the suits and ties.

AFC's audit reveals, among many others:

Fear-based culture suppresses staff from escalating concerns.

Authority informally concentrated at the top, bypassing formal mandates & reporting lines.

“FAM's dysfunction is systematic, not departmental..”

Lesson from the naval weapons sales saga between Norway and Malaysia extends to Asean: Strategic self-reliance is no longer optional but imperative in a world where even binding contracts can be voided by geopolitical calculations, writes Bilveer Singh.

⚽ 🏆 2026 World Cup: a tournament of many firsts

The World Cup is set to get underway on 11 June, with 48 teams and millions of fans expected to descend on the United States, Canada and Mexico for the first ever tournament co-hosted by three nations. But soaring ticket prices, political tensions in Donald Trump's America and the war in Iran are casting an early shadow over the showpiece

Adakah FAM akan bersetuju dengan statut baharu AFC?!🚨

Menjelang Kongres Luar Biasa FAM, ada dua je pilihan: Reformasi besar-besaran (EXCO kena cantas!) ATAU kita senasib dengan Pakistan...Zaman kegelapan bermula. 📉

The AFC audit and the draft statute are designed to clean house and rebuild the shattered integrity of FAM’s governance. In Malaysian political jargon, one could call it the “reset“, “ubah” or “reformasi” stakeholders, and fans seek.

With 48 teams and 1,248 players made available to take to the pitch across 104 matches in Canada, Mexico and the United States, this edition represents a watershed moment for the global game, opening the door to more nations, players and their fans than ever before.

The confirmed squad lists underline the scale and enduring appeal of the tournament with 357 players returning after at least one previous FIFA World Cup™ squad inclusion. Some 891 players are set to experience the competition for the first time, highlighting both continuity and renewal across the global game. #WeAre26 #FIFAWorldCup

In modern football, there is no place for honorary presidents. FAM does not need another title that will cause a massive dilemma, similar to the decades-long scenario within Malaysia’s legal system that allows former judges to practise law.

Some still wonder how a sitting judge feels when a senior or former mentor is at the counsel table.

Similarly, how would a president react when a former president still makes his presence felt in Wisma FAM?

@Twentytwo13news Hi @FootballPak. Any pointers for the folks at @FAM_Malaysia ?

[Twentytwo13 @Twentytwo13news]

What if the FA of Malaysia's Congress decides not to adopt the recommended statute by the Asian Football Confederation? That could see AFC and Fifa handing FAM the red card, similar to what happened to the Pakistan Football Federation.
