“That’s his personal view; whatever we do, we must adhere to the statutes or constitution. Anyone can contest; there’s no issue. I am open-minded and welcome criticism, especially after the national squad’s performance in the AFC Under-23 Asian Cup and the recent poison-pen letter. I take note of constructive feedback.

Meanwhile, Hamidin said he is awaiting a report from Under-23 squad head coach Juan Torres Garrido and Technical Director Scott O’Donell on Harimau Muda’s lacklustre performance at the AFC Under-23 Asian Cup, which also serves as a qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
