Sri Pahang's M-League withdrawal a 'reset,' says club legend
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Jamal Nasir believes Sri Pahang 's withdrawal from the 2025-26 M-League should not be viewed as a failure but as a reset. The football legend, who starred for the Elephants in the 1970s, said the club must have had valid reasons to pull out of next season's competition and hopes it will allow them to regroup for a stronger return. While he admits the decision is deeply saddening, Jamal urged fans to remain calm and understanding. "It's heartbreaking, of course. This club once stood among the best in the Super League and even made it to the Malaysia Cup final. Now they're stepping away, and it's not easy to accept," he said. "I'm sad too, but what can we do? I'm sure there are unavoidable reasons behind this. Even though they obtained their national licence, perhaps there are internal issues that need to be resolved first." The Malaysian Football League (MFL) confirmed on Friday that Sri Pahang had submitted their withdrawal letter on June 16. The team's absence is a major blow to Malaysian football, considering their rich legacy in domestic competitions. The Elephants have won multiple titles throughout the years, including the Super League, Malaysia Cup and FA Cup. Their most recent silverware was the FA Cup in 2018, when they beat Selangor 2-0 in the final. Jamal highlighted the team's past financial struggles, including unpaid salaries, and urged fans not to point fingers. "Don't blame anyone. The management must've thought this through carefully. "Maybe taking one step back is necessary, so they can come back stronger later. I'm staying positive. This decision could be the beginning of something better for the club." Sri Pahang finished eighth in the 2024-25 Super League and were runners-up in the Malaysia Cup, making their sudden withdrawal all the more shocking. With their exit, only 13 clubs remain for the 2025-26 season — Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), Selangor, Penang, Kuching City, Sabah, Terengganu, Negri Sembilan, Kelantan Darul Naim, KL City, Police, DPMM, Melaka and Immigration.

What's next after your miraculous stage 4 cancer cure, Jamal Yunos? Stage 5 cancer, leukaemia or heart attack?
SUNGAI Besar UMNO division head Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos should have resorted to whispered prayers to express gratitude to divine intervention of having been 'finally free of cancer after a five-month battle for his life'. While it remains a mystery as to why he chose to publicly declare his miraculous healing from his stage four cancer, the Barisan Nasional (BN) Selangor communications head has certainly shot himself in the foot after political adversary Tressa Kok reminded him of payback time. 'Congratulations,' posted the Seputeh MP on her Facebook in response to a news article quoting Jamal as stating that the intensive treatment he underwent had completely removed the cancer. 'Time for Jamal to pay my lawyer as ordered by the court.' Recall that the DAP lawmaker has in October last year obtained a court order to seize and sell the contents of Jamal's house after the latter failed to pay RM50,000 for her legal costs upon losing a RM300,000 defamation lawsuit that dated back to July 26, 2022. On April 6, 2017, Kok sued Jamal for defamation after he accused her of misappropriating RM2 mil of funds from the Selangor state Government's Yayasan Warisan Anak Selangor (YAWAS). The former DAP vice-chairman was reported to have originally sought RM1 mil in general damages along with compensatory, aggravated and exemplary damages and an injunction to prevent Jamal from repeating or spreading the allegations. Interestingly, not only had Kok demanded what's due to her, Malaysians, too, are keen to learn the secret to the tuala (towel) man's Stage 4 lung cancer healing for lives of many Malaysian cancer patients can be saved in the future. But that went on a bad start for Jamal's healthy physique is a tad too deceptive to people who had previous contact with cancer patients. 'Where got cancer 🤦♀️look so healthy and chubby. I've seen real cancer patients,' exclaimed one commenter. Many want to know the identity of the oncologist who could reverse a stage 4 cancer to full healing. Well, the 'Red Shirts' leader (a parody of Thailand's 'Yellow Shirts' protest against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his successors) certainly deserves an Oscar for pulling out his 'stage 4 cancer agony' stunt. – June 11, 2025
