PETALING JAYA: Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has slammed the punishment meted out on Selangor FC for withdrawing from the Charity Shield football match, saying it is absurd and excessive.
In a strongly worded statement, the Selangor Sultan said he believed that the punishment handed down of a RM100,000 fine, paying compensation to the home team and MFL for any losses incurred, a three-point deduction and playing a match without spectators was absurd and excessive considering that victory was given to the opposing team (Johor Darul Ta'zim FC).
