FAM hopes pen drive issue resolved after MACC clarification
HAMIDIN: The FAM will accept the views and recommendations of the MACC, especially on the technical issues they highlighted.
The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) hoped the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) declaration that there was no evidence of corruption in the contents of a pen drive submitted by Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin will put an end to the issue.
"With the MACC's confirmation, we hope the issue is resolved. We wish to clarify that the FAM is always willing to cooperate with the MACC or any other body, including fans, for the sake of football in the country," said FAM secretary-general Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin in a statement today.
Hamidin said the association would also accept the views and recommendations of the MACC, especially technical issues that were highlighted.
He said the FAM would study the investigation report from the MACC before taking any action.
MACC investigation director Datuk Azam Baki said the commission had examined the contents of the pen drive handed over by Khairy last Friday, which allegedly contained details of corruption and misconduct within the FAM, but found no evidence under the MACC Act 2009.
Khairy who had received a pen drive from the Tengku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim on Aug 26, had submitted the pen drive which purportedly contained a 279-page report on misconduct and corruption within the FAM, to the MACC last Friday.
