KELANA JAYA: Malaysia’s football governing body faces a major leadership reset after the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) confirmed that all members of its executive committee (Exco) have resigned with immediate effect.
Speaking after a special meeting at 10am on Wednesday (Jan 28), the fifth such meeting in recent weeks, Datuk Yusoff Mahadi said the decision was made collectively and unanimously as a matter of principle.
According to Yusoff, FAM took joint responsibility for protecting the association’s integrity and reputation while reducing the risk of further fallout for Malaysian football.
He added that public trust and support were key considerations behind the move.
The mass resignation is expected to allow investigations and internal processes to continue without interference, while clearing the way for new measures to be implemented smoothly.
"This decision shows that football is more important than any position," Yusoff said, underlining the association’s commitment to accountability and reform.
