00:00Radio-television Malaysia has denied claims that former national footballer Azlan Johar has been arrested as a commentator for the

00:082026 World Cup broadcast following his entry into pass on Saturday.

00:14Broadcasting Director-General Ashwat Ismail said the allegation was baseless, noting Azlan did not have a contract to cover all

00:22104 matches.

00:24He told FMT Azlan was invited as a guest commentator for RTM's coverage.

00:30Including yesterday's Brazil vs Morocco match, despite pass Secretary-General Takiyudin Hassan announcing on June 13 that Azlan had joined

00:39pass.

00:40Ashwat said RTM had the right to invite guest commentators throughout the tournament and that others could also appear.

00:48He was responding to Takiyudin's questions on whether Azlan's alleged removal was linked to his political party membership.

00:55Azlan was among 15 individuals who applied for pass membership alongside former Minister Zaid Ibrahim and former Negeri Sembilan Executive

01:04Councillor Rafi Abdul Malik.
