In light of the recent statement by Scott O'Donell, the technical director of the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), who expressed his view that the NFDP (National Football Development Program) and AMD (Akademi Mokhtar Dahari) should be solely managed by FAM, rather than being under the authority of the National Sports Council and dependent on government funding, this week we discuss the possible implications of granting FAM complete autonomy over these programs & on underlying issues concerning the welfare of the trainees. Twentytwo13’s Haresh Deol joins us.
