Foul!

1. Kuala Lumpur FA (KLFA) hogged the backpages of local dailes in the 80s and 90s, winning the Malaysia Cup for three consecutive years - 1987, 1988 and 1989. 2. However, the city team has been struggling to make an impact since mainly due to financial issues - despite the various politicians elected as the president. 3. In 2011, a Save KLFA campaign was initiated, as reported by Foul! 4. Yet, eight years later nothing has changed with the office bearers singing the same tune, hoping the team will be "among the best in the country". 5. That statement is as lame as "bola itu bulat". Shallow, expected, unimaginative and sheer rhetoric. 6. Over the weekend, Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad, who is also the Federal Territories Minister, was named president. He will serve from 2019-2023. 7. Khalid joins the likes of former Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and several others in playing a role in KLFA. I wonder how different wil...

The first letter that stated trials for KL's U19 team is on Dec 25, 2017 Guess what is happening on Dec 25, 2017? Christmas! AND .... Trials for Kuala Lumpur's Under-19 team. Wow! And this is what someone within the city football structure said: "Of all the 365 days they have to have the selection on Christmas day. Is PBKL (KL Football Association) not aware it is a public holiday. Don't they have any respect on this festival. Are they depriving some of the players who will be celebrating Xmas which come once in a year. Officials in PBKL, wake up." KL Football Association quickly changed the date to Dec 23, 2017. New letters were issued this morning (below). The letter with a new date sent out today. Another case of terlepas pandang ?
