“Shameful and Dishonest” - Tun M on Malaysia’s Naturalised Player Controversy, Indicates Someone is Pulling the Strings - Video Dailymotion

Sinar Daily

Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad expresses deep disappointment over Malaysia’s recent football scandal involving allegedly falsified citizenships and birth records given to foreign players to represent the national team.  Tun Mahathir calls the issue shameful, stating that national teams should be represented by true Malaysians - not foreign players rushed into citizenship without proper vetting.   He further criticises selective law enforcement, saying that some wrongdoers are protected because they hold power and believe they can get away with anything.

00:00Kehidupan orang-orang ini. Kehidupan kehidupan sebenarnya adalah di Argentina.

00:05Tapi mereka telah berkata di Penang. Mereka berkahwin di Penang.

00:09Ini adalah benar. Jadi, orang-orang bergantung dengan menggantikan.

00:14Dan saya rasa mereka harus dihukumkan untuk itu.

00:16Bagaimana perasaan anda ketika Malaysia diberikan keadaan seperti ini

00:21yang menganggap kita telah mempunyai kehidupan kehidupan ini?

00:26It is sinful that foreign players sub-represented Malaysia.

00:35I mean, this is a Malaysian team. It should be made by Malaysian.

00:42But in order to win, they decided to get foreign players.

00:50But foreign players cannot represent Malaysia

00:54unless they are Malaysian.

00:56So, they gave the citizenship, I think, without due examination

01:06and other processes.

01:11Within a short while, they were regarded as Malaysian citizens.

01:20and there were some cheating in terms of place of birth.

01:30I mean, there is this deliberate attempt to cheat.

01:34I'm ashamed that there are people who are cheating

01:41not only within Malaysia, but internationally

01:45because that team had to play against Vietnam.

01:49And Vietnam discovered that most of the players

01:53are not like Malaysians.

01:56So, I mean, well, we want to win football games.

02:03But let it be done properly.

02:06Don't cheat.

02:07I mean, if you have the money and you can buy some players

02:12and ask them to play for Malaysia

02:15and say they are Malaysian

02:17and tell a lie also

02:19because they give the birthplace of these people.

02:26The real birthplace was in Argentina.

02:30but they have written in Penang,

02:33they were born in Penang,

02:34which is a lie.

02:37So, somebody is up to tricks.

02:40And I think they should be punished for that.

02:44How can...

02:45I mean, it's very difficult to comprehend the fact that

02:47there is somebody who is literally doing that

02:51on purpose to the country.

02:53Yeah.

02:54Like, why do you think Malaysians berani sangat

02:57to do such things?

02:59You know, like, it's like, uncomprehendable, right?

03:02Like, to do such things up to...

03:04Because sports is not even like, you know, sports.

03:08Everybody watches it.

03:09Everybody can see it with their own eyes.

03:11So much.

03:12Well, in Malaysia, of course,

03:16police investigation is selective.

03:21Okay.

03:21Some people, even if they have done no wrong,

03:26may be subjected to investigation.

03:30Some people who have done wrong are exempted.

03:35Yes.

03:35So, somebody is so powerful

03:38that they can actually do wrong things

03:42and get away with it.

03:44Or at least that's what they...

03:47had the Vietnamese not pointed out

03:50that these people were strange people.

03:55We would not have known about it.

03:57Yes.

03:58But when internationally also

04:02you are prepared to tell lies,

04:05to fabricate things,

04:07to do all kinds of...

04:10to give all kinds of information

04:12that is wrong,

04:14then it can only be done

04:17by somebody with power.

04:19Somebody who has very strong influence

04:22and because of that influence,

04:27believe that he can get away with it

04:29and this is what he did.

04:35but we cannot identify who.

04:37But we cannot identify who.
