Turtle fans turn football turtle

IT was disappointing to read about the unruly behaviour of some 500 Terengganu football fans who caused a ruckus at the Sultan Ismail Stadium, throwing water bottles and verbally abusing the players and team management.

Some called for the president Datuk Che Mat Jusoh and head coach Mat Zain Mat Aris to resign. The disgruntled fans even pelted stones later at Mat Jusoh’s house after the Turtles lost 2-1 to club side, Sime Darby in the first leg of the FA cup.

The FA of Malaysia (FAM) and relevant authorities must take stringent measures to avoid a repetition of such acts. It was not the first time Malaysian football had been tainted by such misdemeanour.

The FAM and police must take tough measures, and I am not talking just fines.
