The Malaysian FA (FAM) has hit back at the statement issued by the Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia (PFAM), with the former labelling the latter's earlier action as irresponsible.
On Sunday, PFAM chief executive officer Izham Ismail issued an official statement claiming that Malaysian clubs currently owe a total of RM6.4 million in unpaid wages to players in cases that have been reported to the organisation.
According to Izhar, these cases do not only involve smaller clubs that have gone under, but also established state sides such as Melaka United, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang.
