Photo by Bernama SUBANG JAYA - Speculation over Tan Sri Hamidin Mohd Amin's return to the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has been put to rest following his appointment as honourary president during the association's Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) today. FAM president Datuk Mohd Joehari Mohd Ayub, who chaired the meeting, said the appointment was based on Hamidin's credibility, vast experience and significant contributions to the development of football both domestically and internationally over the past 30 years. Speculation over Hamidin's appointment as honorary president arose after he announced he would not defend his position as FAM president at the Election Congress in January. "We do need Tan Sri's presence, particularly given his extensive network with the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), Asian Football Confederation (AFC), as well as with government bodies and the private sector - we need those connections. "His appointment as honorary president also adds value to the current leadership of FAM,' he said at a press conference after the 2025 FAM First EGM here today.

Photo by Bernama Mohd Joehari said there is no issue of overlapping powers between him as FAM president and Hamidin. "Our roles are different. Tan Sri's function is more advisory, and he also serves as an ambassador for FAM. "Like I said, it's not a matter of overshadowing or anything like that. What we see is how this can contribute positively to FAM - and to me, we have to remain objective,' he said. He said the appointment received unanimous support from all delegates present. Hamidin is the second person to be appointed to the post, as in 2014, the FAM Congress conferred the same title on the late Sultan Ahmad Shah, who led FAM from 1984 to 2014. - BERNAMA More Like This

Not Sarjit's Fault Speedy Tigers Failed To Reach Semi-finals
KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Bernama) -- National men's hockey squad head coach Sarjit Singh should not be blamed entirely for Speedy Tigers' poor performance at the recent International Hockey Federation (FIH) 2025 Nations Cup Hockey Tournament. Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) president Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal said the entire team, including the players, must take responsibility after failing to achieve their mission of advancing to the semi-finals of the tournament. "To be honest, I have been in this sport for a long time and I see that the Malaysian team under Sarjit can play. They can compete with any of the world's giants. bootstrap slideshow "The problem is still the same, the problem of holding the lead. For example, when we played against New Zealand, we were leading 3-0 but lost 3-4. If we didn't know how to play, we would have lost 0-6," he told the media at the MHC press conference today. Earlier at the FIH Nations Cup, Malaysia, who played host, finished out of the top five after losing 1-2 to Wales in the fifth and sixth place play-off. Meanwhile, Subahan said that although he was disappointed with the results achieved by the national team, he was satisfied with the performance displayed by Sarjit Singh's men. In fact, according to him, MHC will also try its best to resolve all the problems faced by the national hockey team to achieve victory in the future. -- BERNAMA
