Former Malaysian footballer Hairuddin Omar, popularly known as Hai-O, has urged local football fans to remain calm and not criticise the Football Association of Malaysia and Malaysia Stadium Corp regarding the condition of the newly upgraded zeon zoysia pitch at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.
Pressure by the Football Association of Malaysia on the Malaysian Stadium Corp to have the Merdeka Tournament at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium resulted in embarrassing scenes when the newly turfed pitch started coming apart.
Former national football players have voiced their frustration with the Youth and Sports Ministry over the poor condition of the newly upgraded zeon zoysia pitch at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.
