TMJ: The Saviour Of Malaysian Football? Part 2

A series of sweeping changes have been made by the newly appointed Football Association of Malaysia President Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim just 10 days after coming to power. This includes reverting the national squad's name to it's original name, Harimau Malaya, implementing a cost-cutting exercise within the FAM and empowering fans with the freedom of speech and dialog.

In the second of this two-part series on the future of the country's football, BFM explores the beginning of Tunku Ismail's journey to transform Malaysia into a highly respected footballing nation. You can listen to part 1 here.

This is a report by Shawn Tanis.
