Rope in state football associations to vote for FAM new lineup - Khairy

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar has urged local football fans to rope in the state football associations (FA) to influence the outcome of the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) next elections.

On his official Twitter account, Khairy hinted that FAM will have a new president in 2017.

Any interested nominees, he said, should seek support from the state football associations in order to be elected.

Khairy also suggested local football fans to meet with the state FA president to nominate their preferred candidates to fill in the positions as FAM exco members.

Apa yang pasti akan ada Presiden baharu @FAM_Malaysia tahun depan. Calon yg minat mesti dapat sokongan ahli2 gabungan (Persatuan Negeri etc)

Penyokong bola yg selalu komen @FAM_Malaysia ambil tau lah tentang pemilihan nanti. Bawa rombongan fans jumpa Presiden Persatuan Negeri.

Maklum pada FA Negeri untuk undi calon yang terbaik bagi Exco @FAM_Malaysia. Gunakan kuasa peminat bola melalui state FA yg akan undi.

KJ shares tips

Khairy on several criteria ‘to be fulfilled’ by FAM new president in order to transform Malaysian football scene.

“FAM presidential candidate must have the support from the stakeholders and find ways to implement a complete transformation,” he explained.

Khairy also expressed hope that the new president is a ‘doer’ and ‘operator’ to successfully implement a blueprint which should already be in place.

Calon Presiden @FAM_Malaysia mesti dapat kerjasama stakeholders & cari jalan buat transformasi total. Bukan awal2 kata orang takkan terima.

Secara jujur Presiden @FAM_Malaysia mesti seorang 'doer' & 'operator' yang boleh implement. Idea semua dah ada, blueprint dah ada.
