Primetime politics in football

Leading men: Tunku Ismail (right) is a leading contender in the contest for the presidency of FAM while Annuar, seen here being swamped by supporters at KLIA, has confirmed going for the post.

TAN Sri Annuar Musa’s flight from Auckland had landed at KLIA at about 9pm and there was quite a big group waiting for him.

Some were political supporters, others were football fans, but they were all worked up over what they regarded as a “dirty trick” to undermine his candidacy for the presidency of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
