The Youth and Sports Minister said the statement was sufficient to let the public understand what happened during Saturday's AFC Asian Cup qualifying match between Malaysia and Bahrain.
Asked if the stagnant water pooled because of a drainage or technical fault, Ahmad Faizal said the biggest problem is climate change.“The drainage system was functioning well,” he told a press conference after officiating a surau at SK Pasukan Polis Hutan in Tambun near here on Monday . He was asked to comment about viral videos showing staff using shovels and cardboard to clear water from the pitch before the match.
Ahmad Faizal also suggested that in future, tournament organisers could reserve the National Stadium for games featuring Malaysia, which would draw a crowd, and hold other matches at smaller venues. PSM chief executive officer Mohd Faidz Sanusi had said on Sunday that it did not order workers to use shovels and cardboard to clear the stagnant water.
Seriously thumbs up? Is this a joke? The report should also mention flood in the stadium’s toilet too. Ridiculous 😡
Can’t even maintain a stadium football pitch. For years this sickness of incompetence has been going on. Yes we are king in sports; unfortunately it’s KING in sports failure, failure in every aspect.
