KUALA LUMPUR: In a poignant stand against violence, Harimau Malaya coach Kim Pan Gon expressed his solidarity with acid attack victim Faisal Halim today.
The coach shared a photo of Faisal on social media with the caption: "We all stand with you, Faisal!"
Following Faisal's harrowing acid attack on Sunday in a mall in Damansara, the 26-year-old will miss out on Harimau Malaya's remaining 2026 World Cup/2027 Asian Cup qualification matches.
