He mentioned that any changes to the starting line-up would depend on the players’ fitness and injury status.

He expressed optimism about the team’s prospects in the FA Cup and Malaysia Cup, suggesting that maintaining their performance could lead to significant achievements. He conveyed hope for success, with the ultimate goal being to win these competitions.

In the recent match, Wanja Ronald Ngah was a standout performer, scoring twice in the sixth and 71st minutes.
