THE new Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) secretary-general, Stuart Michael Ramalingam has outlined three objectives to improve the management of the country’s football governing body.

The objectives are empowering the FAM affiliates; improving grassroots football development programme such as state league and age-group competitions; and supporting all football-related programmes and events in the country, Stuart told a press conference at Wisma FAM today.

Stuart said he would use his 10 years of experience in several renowned sports agencies, including Asian Football Confederation and the International Football Federation, to turn the corporate structure of FAM into a better management.

The former Malaysian Super League chief executive officer also acknowledged the huge expectation and challenges ahead, but expressed confidence of getting the cooperation of all stakeholders in Malaysian football to ensure the national body would meet its goals.

Stuart also revealed that he would form an eminent group in his office which he hoped would provide better opinions to improve the FAM organisation and also the Malaysian football as whole.

“Outside FAM, there are a lot passionate and experienced people and I hope with the creation of this group, they will give their time, effort and heart to improve the Malaysian football,” Stuart added.

Hamidin Mohd Amin on July 15 announced the appointment of Stuart as the new FAM secretary-general in his place after he was appointed as the association’s new president for the 2018-2021 term.

Hamidin had previously served as FAM secretary-general from 2013-2018 under three different presidents – Sultan Ahmad Shah (1984-2014), Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah (2014-2017) and Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim from 2017-2018. – Bernama, July 23, 2018.

  • To be honest, Malaysian football needs a better website for the fans to follow. The current website is giving too much of uneccessary photos which is too unappealing and dull. Try to imitate the EPL. Actually the most important thing is the format of play. It tends to change like the wind every other year and it really need to have a solid format to start building the foundation for Malaysia football as a world cup contender in future

  • Hello Mr Sec Gen Ramalingam. No need to form eminent group. Just use your common sense and simple logic to improve our football. If Iceland can do it, why can't Malaysia!
