PETALING JAYA: Former national striker Faizal Saari has slammed Oman hockey club Al-Nasr for failure to pay his salary arrears.
The 34-year-old Terengganu player took to social media to vent his frustration as he claimed Al-Nasr had failed to pay him during his time at the club during the 2018-2019 Saudi Arabian Hockey League.
Faizal said South Korean Jang Jong-hyun also suffered the same fate as both players had been chasing their salaries for four months now.
"If there is no money, then there is no need to take import players like me and Jong-hyun.
"Al-Nasr Hockey Team in Oman, please pay our salary arrears. It has been four months already and it is really embarrassing.
"Shame on you guys, especially the owners of Al-Nasr. Please be responsible," he said.
Australian player Kieran Govers also shared his experience in the comments of Faizal’s post, stating that he and several countrymen also faced salary issues with Al-Nasr.
"They still owe my friends money as well," said Govers.
Faizal had recently announced his retirement from the national team after 15 years of playing for the Speedy Tigers.
The news came right after Faizal aided Terengganu in getting the TNB Cup title last month.
