PETALING JAYA: Former national footballer Safee Sali has urged Malaysia’s homegrown players to seize the moment and step up, following the suspension of seven mixed-heritage players that has plunged Harimau Malaya into crisis.
The ex-striker and former president of the Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia (PFAM) said the latest setback should not derail the national team’s progress under Australian coach Peter Cklamovski, but instead ignite a response from the rest of the squad.
