FMLLP to punish teams for failure to meet deadline

KUALA LUMPUR: The fate of the 10 teams who failed to meet the M-League registration deadline will be decided by the Football Malaysia LLP (FMLLP) board in Johor Baru on Monday.

FMLLP chief executive Kevin Ramalingam confirmed that teams could either be docked points or fined.

“We will deliberate the cases tomorrow,” said Kevin.

Teams are supposed to submit statements of players' salaries and contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), income tax and Socso to FMLLP before the start of the season for approval.

Kelantan and Kuala Lumpur submitted incomplete documents while Selangor and PKNS did so after the deadline.

Premier League's Penang, Kuantan FA, Sarawak and Police did not complete theirs while Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and MIFA also missed the deadline.

The last day for submission was Dec 29 last year but it was extended twice - to Jan 14 and Feb 3 this year.

These teams are now in danger of being docked points. They may also be handed transfer bans.

Last season, T-Team, Kelantan, Perlis and Armed Forces were docked points for a similar offence.
