Banned KL player drags FAM to court

Former Kuala Lumpur player Hafizi Roslee who was banned for life by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) due to his alleged involvement in match-fixing and bribery, has filed a suit against
the national body.   

Hafizi, 29, who filed the suit on Feb 26 through Khairuddin, Ngiam & Tan at the High Court Registrar here, named FAM and the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) as the first and second defendants, respectively.
   
His lawyer Kevin De Rozario said the court had set March 17 for case management in the presence of Judicial Commissioner Rosilah Yop.
   
In his writ of summon, Hafizi urged the court to nullify FAM's decision to ban him for life from football activities.
   
Hafizi alleged that the FAM's action was unconstitutional and done without arbitrary which was a breach of the rules of natural justice and public policy since the FAM had heard his case on Dec 20, last year without his presence.
   
On Dec 20, the FAM Disciplinary Committee banned Hafizi and four other players - Fadhullah Yunsifar, Phoo Kai Lun, Khairul Anuar Shafie and Jeremy Danker - for life and imposed a fine of RM20,000, for their alleged involvement in match-fixing and bribery.
   
Apart from the players, former Kuala Lumpur coach Stanislav Lieskovsky from Slovakia, assistant manager Rosli Omar and Saari Jani, an official with the team, were also found guilty for a similar charge. - Bernama
