PETALING JAYA: The RM5mil grant is only for the development of football, and not for Football Association of Malaysia’s (FAM) operational costs, says Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh.

Hannah clarified this after the announcement made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that the government would give RM5mil to the FAM to manage the national team and matters under their purview.
