SEREMBAN: Two individuals, including a former national footballer, were freed by the High Court here for allegedly fixing a Malaysia Premier League match more than five years ago.

Judge Rohani Ismail allowed an appeal from Khairul Anuar Baharum, 48 and G. Prem Kumar, 54 and set aside a decision by the Sessions Court in August 2020 which found them guilty of offering RM10,000 each to MISC-MIFA goalkeepers S. Harivarman and Khairul Izzuwan Shaari.
