Abbas Saad-Malaysia Cup

[bobby]

Remember the 1990s Malaysia Cup dream team import Abbas Saad ?



In June 1995, the Singapore courts convicted Saad of match-fixing and fined him S$50,000. Saad received a lifetime ban from the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) from football activities in Singapore.

Those were the days of local football. Sultan pahang, FAM president could not swallow singkie winning the cup and banned it from participating. That is the problem when you got royalty holding the post, nobody dare to oppose.
The result?.
Huge loss of income for the sports and it took decades to recover even now.

Abbas Saad received a lifetime ban from the FAS from football in S'pore. FIFA lifted Abbas' worldwide ban after 1 year. In 2009, FAS lifted his ban in S'pore 6 years after he retired from playing. Geylang offered Saad a job to lead its youth development programme, but his application for a S Pass was rejected by the Ministry of Manpower, citing his adverse record. An appeal was was also rejected. SG are determined to punish ex-offenders for life.

I’m surprised they let him back
Maybe Michael Vans can come back too

I read that S'pore withdrew from the Malaysian Super League in 1994 owing to a dispute with the Football Association of Malaysia over gate receipts, which followed a successful 1994 season. The FAS then decided to develop our own professional league system to focus on local talent. Although there was a temporary return of a Singaporean team, the LionsXII, from 2012-2015, the partnership was not renewed because of the same issues.

Yes it was an accumulation of things starting with their creative goals tabulation which cost us the league title. Basically the team was being bullied as we were the guests in their league. The other guest team being Brunei but whipping boys Brunei didn’t get similar treatment as they weren’t a threat. So FAS decided to quit. On hindsight it was a bad decision

Really give sg one tight slap

When I was a boy watching Malaysia Cup football games in the late 1970s and 80s, blatant biased refereeing - especially at away games - made winning an uphill task for S'pore. Violent tackles and obvious offside goals by Malaysian state teams went unpunished.

Those were the Mat Noh, Samad Allapitchay & Quah Kim Song days….you remember the most feared striker from Selangor Mokhtar Dahari who scored in every match.

Mokhtar Dahari aka "Supermokh" was a powerful and prolific forward. He is the all-time top scorer for the Malaysian national team, with 89 goals in 142 appearances. He helped Malaysia win a bronze medal at the 1974 Asian Games and 2 gold medals at the SEA Games in 1977 and 1979.
