KUALA LUMPUR: The police have called up past and present Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) employees to assist in the investigation of a poison pen letter distributed in March, just before the national body's annual congress.
Newsportal Twentytwo13 today reported that a number of them confirmed that they had met with investigating officers in Bukit Aman in recent weeks.
They were asked about the letter and events that occurred at FAM.
The poison pen letter had rocked the Malaysian football scene.
It accused the national body of various wrongdoings involving funding, the National Training Centre project and theft, all of which FAM have strongly denied.
The letter also alleged that FAM president Datuk Hamidin Amin receives a RM90,000 salary, not inclusive of allowances from AFC and Fifa, which Hamidin did not elaborate on, stating that it was a "personal matter".
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Shuhaily Mohd Zain earlier this month said they were probing a possible link between the letter and attacks on a number of footballers recently.
High-profile players Faisal Halim, Akhyar Rashid and Safiq Rahim were attacked this month.
Faisal, the victim of a acid attack, suffered serious burns and has undergone multiple operations.
