"A briefing was held for the supporters before they left to avoid any problems or untoward incident at the Bukit Jalil Stadium tonight in a match where we are confident that JDT will win 3-0," he told reporters at the Tan Sri Dato' Haji Hassan Yunos Stadium, here today.
For the die-hard JDT supporters, they are confident that the team will bring home the Malaysia Cup once again this year.

"I am always highly spirited and will always join my friends to go to the stadium to support the JDT team," she said.
Another football fan, Mohd Nordin Md Don, 42, is hopeful of JDT winning the final match because of the team's good record.
"We are going to show our support for JDT .. this time I'm even more excited because I'm bringing my two sons who are eight and five years old so that we can together celebrate the victory of the greatest football team in the country," he added.
The 2023 Malaysia Cup final brings together three-time defending champion JDT and TFC who are chasing their second title after last winning it in 2001.
