Welcome Khawari

My ex-colleague at Berita Harian, Ahmad Khawari Isa, who is known to be hard-hitting in his opinion pieces, has joined the blogosphere. He calls his blog "As I see it, plain and simple". But knowing Khawari, nothing will be plain and simple from his perspective. Read here. As a practising journalist in the mainstream media, Khawari's entry into the "underworld" is highly anticipated.

Dear Sir,

RE: THE MALAY MAIL SAYS: WE ARE A GULLIBLE NATION
THE MALAY MAIL - TUESDAY 14TH JULY 2009


The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), wish to draw your attention to the article under the aforesaid headline published by Malay Mail on July 14, 2009, which had indeed caused much distress and anxiety in FAM.

The said article contained defamatory statements, unwarranted accusations and inaccuracies which had caused  a reputable organisation like FAM, great damage, globally and domestically. The said article represents a malicious intent and an attempt to tarnish FAM's reputation.

FAM tolerates criticsm, constructive or otherwise, but the said article contained words, allegations and insinuations that expose FAM to hatred, contempt and ridicule to the right-thinking members of the society.

In particular Paragraph Six of the said article implied FAM officials as deceitful and Paragraph 10 of the same article which claimed FAM had paid for airfare, accommodation and appearance fee for the visiting team was inaccurate and malicious. The writer attempted to justify the paragraph by insisting that FAM was not forthcoming.

The said article had called into question our reputation, standing and above all, integrity. The article was written in bad faith to mislead the public by potraying FAM in bad light.

Therefore, an apology and a retraction must be made as soon as possible via the online and print versions of the newspaper, failing which the FAM would not hesitate to institute legal recourse.

Yours faithfully,
Football Association of Malaysia

LT GEN DATO' AZZUDDIN BIN AHMAD (Retired)
General Secretary
