The great and mighty Football Association of Malaysia yesterday declared an all-out war against match-fixing. I don’t want to burst Khairy Jamaluddin’s bubble of optimism but you are fighting a pointless battle. Book-makers and bookies are here to stay and it would not be easy to combat them since they are representing a multi-billion dollar industry throughout the whole world!
I wish Khairy Jamaluddin and the Football Association of Malaysia good luck nonetheless. Now, I only have one problem with FAM’s declaration of war against match-fixing.
Why do you guys at the top of the Malaysian football scene target football players and their coaches alone?
You guys have official links with Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), ask them to release records, statistics and figures of past cases of match-fixing documented from all around the world in the last 5 years.
Come on guys, book-makers or bookies are much smarter and bolder nowadays. They no longer approach football/soccer players or football/soccer coaches like they used to. The current trend is even more disturbing. There were recorded cases all over the world where we have book-makers or bookies striking up deals to fix matches with football/soccer match officials (referees, assistant referees, fourth officials and the rest).
We all know that the quality of our Malaysian football/soccer match officials sucks but is that the only way for us to explain their poor officiating? What if they were involved in match-fixings?
Khairy Jamaluddin, I know that you are a smart guy. So please ponder upon what I have said earlier and do something for the best interest of our Malaysian football/soccer scene.
