Selangor Sultan says dismayed by MFL’s punishment of Selangor FC, calls chair Hamidin a ‘disappointment’
Malay Mail
KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 — Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafudin Idris Shah Alhaj today blasted the Malaysian Football League’s (MFL) governing body in a rare public expression of dismay, as he called the punishment meted against the state’s football club “irresponsible, without goodness, inhuman and apathetic”.
Selangor FC was slapped with a RM100,000 fine, and had three points deducted because it backed out from playing the Charity Shield against Johor Darul Ta’zim on May 10 over security concerns. The Red Giants will also be forced to play JDT in an empty stadium for next year’s Super League fixture.
MFL directors said the punishment was taken after “various considerations”.
