JOHOR Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim today said there is a conspiracy to oust him as the FA of Malaysia (FAM) president.
He disclosed this when asked about a New Straits Times report on Tuesday, titled "Conspiracy against Kevin?".
In the article, Football Malaysia LLP (FMLLP) chief executive officer Kevin Ramalingam had claimed of a conspiracy against him.
"Of course, they not only want to oust him (Kevin), they also want to oust me as president," he told a Johor Southern Tigers press conference, which was streamed live on Facebook.
Tunku Ismail claimed that there were many in FAM who were "dreaming of becoming the association's head."
"Many in FAM ask the media to write all kinds of things with the hope that I will get fed up and leave so that they have a chance to become president.
"It's not going to happen," said Tunku Ismail.
On Kevin's status as FMLLP CEO, Tunku Ismail said his position is at the pleasure of the FAM president.
"For now, he's doing his work properly. He is able to answer the questions posed to him based on facts, so he should carry on with the job.
"I know in FAM, a few of my executive committee members do not agree with my opinion because they want to appoint their own people, but sorry, this is not a political party, this is a football association," he added.
