PETALING JAYA: Premier League outfit Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) have become the first M-League team to slash players’ salaries to weather the Covid-19 pandemic.

The movement control order from March 18 to April 14 has forced the M-League to a four-week standstill. With no gate-takings, teams have been left struggling financially.

UKM FC honorary secretary Mohd Fairus Shafie said they have imposed a 15%-20% pay cut starting from today until the MCO is lifted and the decision has been accepted by the players who understood the financial difficulties faced by the management. “We only impose a maximum of 20% cut while the lower-salaried players will get a 15% cut. This will continue until the MCO period ends and subject to both parties’ agreement.”
