🚨 JUST IN : FIFA has ordered a formal investigation into FAM’s internal operations for using forged birth certificates to claim Malaysian ancestry for seven naturalised players.

It said both FAM and the players failed to verify the false lineage claims, noting that the players didn’t even read the naturalisation papers they signed.

🧵1Image

FIFA ruled that the falsifications gave Malaysia an undue sporting gain, including in the 4–0 win over Vietnam, and rejected claims that the issue was minor or procedural.

It also said FAM was clearly negligent for relying on contradictory, unverified ancestry records and failing to respond to repeated requests for clarification.

The probe will examine FAM’s compliance systems and identify those responsible, including FAM gen-sec Noor Azman and two licensed FIFA agents, Nicolas Puppo and Frederico Moraes.

FIFA said their alleged involvement raises serious concerns that warrant close scrutiny.

The Communications Ministry has retracted its statement on building a pioneering AI system using Huawei Technologies chips.

"Malaysia would deploy 3,000 units of Huawei’s primary AI offering by 2026," said Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching earlier.

Teo said Chinese AI startup DeepSeek would contribute an AI model to the project.

Meanwhile, the statement drew attention from the White House, which is working to counter China's AI ambitions.

The reversal follows the US Commerce Department revising guidance cautioning foreign companies against using Huawei’s Ascend chips.

The agency initially warned that using the chips globally might violate US export controls but later dropped the worldwide scope amid tensions with Beijing.

A former Immigration officer, now holding the Datuk title, reportedly masterminds a Pakistani cartel smuggling migrant workers into Malaysia and collaborates with Pakistani agents on syndicates like the ‘A to B’.

“He plays a crucial role by arranging migrant worker quota approvals and handling dealings with the department.

“He even owns several companies that exist only on paper to facilitate the syndicate,” a source told Malaysiakini, adding that the Datuk’s son is working in the Immigration Department.

A local agent familiar with the syndicate said that Pakistani agents have begun to dominate KLIA, particularly at Terminal 1.

Pakistanis are gaining control at KLIA as agents struggle to exploit Chinese nationals, who now use the autogate system, removing the need for bribes.

🧵2
Several agents on the ground identified a Pakistani national known as 'Asif' as one of the most influential figures among the Pakistani agents.

“The Datuk sets up companies and obtains quota approvals, while Asif brings in migrant workers from Pakistan," said the agent.

“Before the local councils give approvals to build these large-scale centres, they must make sure to state to investors and respective parties the existence of rainwater harvesting, including clean water.

“It cannot be an afterthought,” said chairman Charles Santiago.

🧵2
SPAN called on the federal government to mandate efficient water use in data centres, prioritising alternative sources and sustainability.

States must also ensure raw water sufficiency before approving new projects, especially in areas where water demand is already high.
