PETALING JAYA: Several players have described the resignation of Tan Cheng Hoe as national team coach as shocking and a tad bit “unfair”.

National midfielder Akram Mahinan was appalled by the news and felt that Cheng Hoe should not be the only one to take responsibility for the team’s group-stage exit in the AFF Suzuki Cup in Singapore last month.
