SUBANG: The poison pen letter alleging mismanagement of funds and fraud was the focal point of discussion during the FA of Malaysia's (FAM) congress here on Monday.
FAM is now considering lodging a police report over the allegations made in the letter as it has tarnished the good name of the national body.
"We will also seek assistance from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to identify the individual who sent the poison pen email.
"If it involves a FAM staff, an internal investigation will be launched," said FAM president Datuk Hamidin Amin during the congress.
Hamidin stressed that the national body practices transparency and will welcome any form of investigation, including from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
"All our financial matters are in accordance with the statute and SOP.
"A report on the poison pen letter has been sent to the Integrity Committee, an independent body chaired by Tan Sri Datuk Seri Aseh Che Mat. It comprises representatives from the Royal Malaysian Police and MACC.
"FAM is always open to being investigated and will provide full cooperation in providing sufficient information to address the claims in the email," said Hamidin.
On Sunday, a viral e-mail made rounds on social media, accusing FAM of fraud, bribery and mishandling of funds, among other matters.
Meanwhile, the congress saw nine agendas discussed as a formality but only eight of which were presented to its affiliates.
