The poser over who will be appointed Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) secretary-general was answered when its president, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim decided to retain Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin.

"Many people have asked this question. The one who does the job and cracks the whip is the president...For now, Hamidin stays as secretary-general.

"...and if he does not do his job and does not conform to what is expected (of him), I'm so sorry Datuk (Hamidin)," said the Tunku Mahkota of Johor while looking at Hamidin at the FAM Congress press conference here today.

Meanwhile, Hamidin thanked the media for bringing up the question.

"This is good. At least, there will be no more rumours and speculation by some quarters on my status after this," he said briefly when met after the press conference.
