Being a referee isn’t as easy as many people think. They have to be alert to their surroundings. They also have to make the right judgment based on their experience and expertise while arbitrating the match.

We are still proud of the Harimau Malaya squad for doing their utmost best! Thank you for fighting for the country until the last whistle!
