I REFER to the StarSport report “The sketchy squad” (The Star, Jan 22).It is heartening that the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has heeded the call by football pundits and fans to be transparent with the findings of the independent committee tasked to investigate team Harimau Malaya’s dismal performance at the recent AFF Suzuki Cup in Singapore.
The findings announced by committee head Datuk Dell Akbar Khan revealed that the national team’s disastrous outing was due to a host of factors, including lack of planning, inadequate training and a squad riven by cliques.
