Rash RM5mil reward, unworthy heroes’ welcome for Harimau Malaya

Absurdly, the national football squad received a heroes’ welcome yesterday despite their early exit from the Asian Cup in Qatar.

Youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh led the circus with puppy-dog excitement, and congratulated the players, coaches and officials at KLIA.

Hours before the farce, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced a questionable RM5 million allocation to develop the national football team.
