KJ takes a swipe at FAM, organiser over Malaysia-Barcelona match


PETALING JAYA: Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has taken a swipe at the organisers of the Malaysia-Barcelona friendly and the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) for the last-minute switch of venues for the game. 

In a succession of tweets from his account @khairykj, Khairy claimed that the organiser wanted to maximise ticket sales at the expense of pitch conditions, while FAM and Barcelona should have been more hands-on in field inspection.
