Datuk Seri Shahril Mokhtar's Resignation is Believed to be Triggered by the Selangor FC Punishment

Datuk Seri Shahril Mokhtar has resigned from all his positions within the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), with his departure strongly linked to the penalties imposed on Selangor FC for their absence from the Charity Shield match. This decision follows the Malaysian Football League's (MFL) imposition of a RM100,000 fine and a three-point deduction on Selangor FC for failing to participate in the May 10th fixture against Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT).
Resignation from All FAM Roles

Shahril Mokhtar officially announced his resignation from all his roles within FAM, effective immediately. This includes his position as the manager of the national under-23 team, as well as his membership on FAM's executive council and his chairmanship of the sponsorship and marketing committee. His resignation letter was formally submitted to the FAM president and secretary-general.
Punishment for Missing Charity Shield

The Malaysian Football League (MFL) recently imposed a RM100,000 fine and a three-point deduction on Selangor FC. This action was taken because the club did not participate in the Charity Shield match against Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) on May 10. Selangor FC had formally requested a postponement of the match, citing security concerns for its players in the aftermath of an acid attack on player Faisal Halim and other incidents affecting footballers.
Royal Displeasure with Penalties

The decision to penalise Selangor FC has drawn significant criticism, notably from Sultan Sharafudin Idris Shah of Selangor. His Royal Highness has publicly expressed anger and disappointment with Malaysian football officials regarding the sanctions against the club. The Sultan has even suggested that the Selangor Football Association consider withdrawing the club from the league in protest against the MFL's decision.
