I have a dream. It's a dream and an idea that became my motivation, which I will stop at nothing to achieve it.
It's a dream where one day the Malaysian football association will be helmed by a group of people who are dedicated, professional and knowledgeable about football, not by those who are in it for personal gains and political reasons.
It's a dream that one day all football teams will be managed by professionals. It's a dream that one day the local football fans will be more civilised in supporting their respective teams and will not fight with each other.
It's a dream that every team will be treated fairly. It's a dream where there will be only the beautiful game of football and no politics.
I want to cooperate with an organisation that is transparent, clean, honest and dedicated in improving the quality of local football. I do not want to be part of an unfair organisation. Therefore I have made my decision to step down from my role as the FAM advisor.
