FAM urges AFC and AFF action over Jalur Gemilang flag insult at U-23 match

KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 — The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has contacted the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and the Asean Football Federation (AFF) to take appropriate action regarding the controversy over the Jalur Gemilang being 'desecrated' during the Asean Under-23 Championship against Indonesia at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Monday. FAM president Datuk Mohd Joehari Mohd Ayub said he views the incident seriously and deeply regrets it occurring in a match that saw the national squad tied 0-0 with the hosts. 'We don't condone this kind of act, whether at the national or international level. We are dealing with the AFC and AFF (for the next course of action),' he said after the launch of the 2025 National Women's League (LWN) here today. Recently, a screenshot of the Jalur Gemilang being 'crossed out (with an 'X' drawn on it)' and held upside down by Indonesian fans during the match went viral on social media. The goalless draw saw Malaysia failing to advance to the semi-finals of the Asean Under-23 Championship after finishing the group stage in third place with four points, behind group winners Indonesia (seven points) and the Philippines (six points). Brunei finished bottom of the group with no points. Malaysia began their campaign with a 2-0 loss to the Philippines before bouncing back to thrash Brunei 7-1. They, however, failed to beat Indonesia, who only needed a draw to advance to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Mohd Joehari will also discuss with FAM lawyers to take further action against an Indonesian football observer whose slur claimed that Malaysia have been suspended by the International Football Federation (Fifa) until 2027. The observer, through a podcast, accused FAM of fielding players whose lineage is unclear to qualify for playing with Harimau Malaya. The Malaysian squad, strengthened by the presence of seven new heritage players, including Facundo Garces, Joao Figueiredo, Imanol Machuca and Rodrigo Holgado, created a big impact as they thrashed Vietnam 4-0 in their second Group F match in the 2027 Asian Cup third-round qualifiers at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil last month. Harimau Malaya currently lead Group F with six points, followed by Vietnam and Laos (both with three points each) and Nepal, with no points. — Bernama

IGP: PDRM Detects Cases Suspected To Be Orchestrated By Foreign Intelligence Agencies

CRIME & COURTS KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has identified external threats, believed to be orchestrated by foreign intelligence agencies, which could potentially compromise national security. Inspector-General of Police, Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail, said that among them were two incidents, suspected to be orchestrated by foreign intelligence agencies, namely the kidnapping of a Palestinian national and the possession of six firearms by an Israeli national. 'PDRM is always prepared to prevent and address various external threats which could impact national security, including agendas by foreign intelligence agencies which may attempt to interfere with or disrupt the country's stability and sovereignty. 'Various measures have been implemented to monitor the entry of foreigners at all the country's entry points, in close cooperation with the Immigration Department, the Border Control and Protection Agency, and Interpol,' he said, in a statement, today. Mohd Khalid said that the police are also paying close attention to the security of foreigners residing in Malaysia for extended periods, including permanent residents and those in the country for business purposes, such as foreign consultants. On the safety of the Palestinian community in Malaysia, Mohd Khalid urged them to remain vigilant, and avoid attracting public attention. 'To ensure the safety of Palestinians residing in Malaysia, they are advised to maintain a low profile to avoid becoming targets, and to promptly report any suspicious activity to the police,' he said. Mohd Khalid said that PDRM has also established strategic collaborations with other security agencies, through continuous information and intelligence exchanges at both national and international levels. 'PDRM remains committed to safeguarding Malaysia's security, and ensuring the well-being of its people at all times,' he said.
