MHF, NSC: We didn't make the arrangements.
That is what I gathered from the Malaysian Hockey Federation and the National Sports Council regarding the visa woes for Shukri Mutalib and Faisal Saari who are supposed to play in the knockout-stage of the Australian Hockey League. Both Shukri (pic ) and Faisal will return today and join their team mates for the test series against Japan which starts on Sunday. Read more in today's Mailsport . SS Dhaliwal was the first to highlight the matter as seen here . The duo were required to apply for a sport visa and not a work permit - as stated in the Australia's Department of Immigration and Citizenship website . Pic: From NST HD says: If only more officials were like NSC hockey liaison officer Nurazlan Shah Adam. He was polite and accommodating - a rare trait among his peers.
