Rage against racism


No peaceful match: Perak’s D. Kenny Palraj (centre) vying for the ball with Selangor’s Rodney Akwensivie and K. Prabakaran, who was a target of racists, during the Super League match on Saturday.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Football League (MFL) and the Football Association of Malaysia have come out strongly to defend Selangor coach B. Sathianathan after his outburst over racism in the local football scene.

Sathianathan was seething after social media criticism of his left-back K. Prabakaran, who was racially abused after the team’s 1-1 draw with Perak last Saturday. Among others, Prabakaran was called “keling” by some social media commenters.
