Palmero set to be a Harimau, but Holgado's status unclear
So, Gabriel Palmero is already here, but a question mark hangs over Rodrigo Holgado.
There have been reports about Malaysia getting two more naturalised players before their 2027 Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam on June 10.
The national team, who are now in their second phase of centralised training, will play two international friendlies against Cape Verde at KLFA Stadium on Thursday and on June 3 at the National Stadium.
"Gabriel has come in good condition from Europe. He's proud to represent Malaysia," he said.
"He's looking sharp, adapting from his long flight, and wants to make Malaysians proud."
However, the status of Colombia-based striker Holgado remains uncertain. While the 29-year-old has reportedly received a call-up, his documentation is still being finalised. Holgado, who plays for America de Cali and has scored seven goals this season, is expected to bolster Malaysia's attacking firepower if things go to plan.
When asked about Holgado, Cklamovski said: "Not sure."

Local surfers aiming high
Surf's up for the team heading to India, pictured with PLOM president and secretary Kamaruzaman Mohd (sixth from left). Six Malaysians will compete at Asian Surfing Championship 2025 in India next month, with hopes of catching the waves on larger global platforms. The Aug 3 to 12 tournament in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, is a key event on the Asian Surfing Federation (ASF) calendar and serves as a qualifier for the 20th Asian Games in Japan in 2026. Leading the national squad is 25-year-old Muhamad Nor Afiq Haikal Mohd Nor Azizi, from Cherating in Pahang, according to an ASF media statement. The surf instructor also known as Kal, a consistent performer at both local and regional competitions, was a dual shortboard and longboard champion at the Tioman and Kejora surf festivals. He has also competed in World Surf League-sanctioned and Asian Surfing Tour events. 'My ultimate aim is to represent Malaysia in the Olympics and grow the sport here,' he stated in his athlete profile. Joining him in the Men's Open division is 16-year-old Lucas Santiago Wehle, a Malaysian-German surfer raised in Ericeira, Portugal. Lucas, currently ranked first nationally in the Under-16 category, will also compete in the Junior Under-18 Boys division. He trains under elite coaches Joao de Macedo and Eric Rebiere, and has placed in competitions in Portugal, France, Germany and Malaysia. Mohd Nazrin Nasruddin rounds out the men's team. In the Women's Open category, seasoned competitor Nurain Mat Isa – or Pinky – returns to the international stage. The 35-year-old founder of Pink Sunset Surf School in Batu Caves, Selangor, is a two-time podium finisher at the 2024 Tioman Surf Festival. Nurain has represented Malaysia in contests across Malaysia and Thailand. Joining her are Tun Athirah Shah Norazhar and Mona Rasidah Abdul Rashid. Tun Athirah, 28, is a Tioman-based resort manager with multiple top-three finishes at Desaru, Sabah and Tioman surf festivals. All six athletes will undergo a week-long training camp at Cimaja Beach, West Java, ahead of the championship. The camp aims to build wave-readiness, fitness and team cohesion. The team is competing under National Sports Council's (NSC) Projek Khas 3 Sukan Olimpik, an elite programme targeting Olympic sports that include surfing.

Frustrated Jasmir hopes Kelantan TRW will settle salary arrears
PETALING JAYA: Another Kelantan-based football team have found themselves mired in controversy, with Kelantan The Real Warrior (TRW) now under pressure to resolve outstanding salary issues involving former players. Previously known as Kelantan Darul Naim (KDN), the club underwent a rebranding exercise for the new Super League season after merging with former Kelantan Football Association (KAFA) president Tan Sri Annuar Musa. Despite the new identity, the team are still grappling with unpaid wages. Among those seeking resolution is former midfielder Jasmir Mehat, whose contract ended in April. When contacted, Jasmir expressed frustration that his salary arrears amount to only about three months – roughly RM18,000 – yet the club have shown little urgency in settling the amount, even though the previous season has long ended. What's more upsetting to the player is that the club have been actively recruiting new signings, including foreign imports. 'They've cleared some of the back pay owed to other players, but when I checked, my payments are still pending,' said Jasmir when contacted. 'Even the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributions were well below the actual figure. I only saw about RM60 a month credited when it should have been closer to RM300. 'What's even more frustrating is that they're willing to pay their imports in full but want local players like me to accept less. 'Now they're signing new players, and I doubt they're being paid peanuts – yet my claim is just for three months' salary.' Jasmir added that he and several other former teammates, who are still owed wages, have brought the matter to the Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia (PFAM) for further action. On July 15, Annuar, who now serves as president of Kelantan TRW, pledged to settle all outstanding payments owed to former players and coaches – estimated to be around RM300,000.

Pearly-Thinaah target more feats after reaching world No. 2
PETALING JAYA: Women's doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan - are eyeing more milestones together after rising to a career high No. 2 in the latest world rankings. Pearly-Thinaah officially moved up one rung from No. 3 after their semi-final finish in the China Open in Changzhou last week and are now hungry for more achievements. The pair are the first Malaysians in the women's doubles to break into the world's top two since Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty, who reached No. 1 in the world in 2009. 'Slowly but surely. Another milestone and to breaking more barriers together,' said Thinaah via Instagram yesterday. Reaching the top two in the world is a well deserved achievement for Pearly-Thinaah as the pair have been in fine form this year. The duo captured the Thailand Open and finished runners-up in the Indonesian Open and Masters and Japan Open. Pearly-Thinaah progressed into the last four and final of a World Tour Super 1000 event for the first time in the Indonesian Open and also made it into their first Super 750 title match in Japan since capturing the French Open in 2022 Pearly-Thinaah, though, have some way to go to overtake current world No. 1 Liu Shengshu-Tan Ning from China. The formidable Chinese pair have opened up a significant gap at the top after amassing 111,634 ranking points while the Malaysians have 89,416 points. Shengshu-Tan Ning have been among Pearly-Thinaah's toughest opponents this year, notably denying them in the finals in Indonesia and Japan. Pearly-Thinaah do have an opportunity, though, to end the country's medal drought in the women's doubles in the World Championships from Aug 25-31 in Paris. The pair's No. 2 ranking will give them a better seeding in the showpiece event and they will avoid Shengshu-Tan Ning until the final. The official seedings will be released on Aug 8 while the draw for the tournament will be out on Aug 13. Pearly-Thinaah came closest to ending their wait for a medal in the last world meet in 2023 but narrowly lost to China's Zhang Shuxian-Zheng Yu in the quarter-finals in Copenhagen. They are now primed to go further and break down another barrier.
