Datuk Seri Feardaus Khairuddin, linked to multiple scandals, caught after eight months on the run, marking a first in Malaysian League’s salary dispute history
The verdict to sentence a “Datuk Seri” to seven days in prison sets a significant precedent for football clubs in Malaysia, underlining the imperative of addressing salary payment issues seriously, said Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia (PFAM) chief executive officer, Izham Ismail.
A “Datuk Seri” is expected to be arrested by police today after the Kuala Lumpur High Court sentenced him to seven days in prison for failing to settle outstanding salaries amounting to RM1.5 million to players from Kuantan FA and Marcerra United.
Salaries for footballers have become a hot topic in the Malaysian football community, as foreign players consistently earn more than local players in their respective clubs.
