PETALING JAYA: Can you imagine how you would feel if you are not paid
your salary for a couple of months, let alone for six months?
Well, that was what former international Mohd Noor Derus claims
happened to him when he played for Malacca in the Premier League from
2006-2008.
The 34-year-old said everything was rosy in the first year of his
contract with the Malacca FA (Mafa) as his salary was paid on time.
But his nightmare began in the middle of 2007 when he was not paid for
six months. This led to him parting company with Mafa in 2008. Mohd Noor Derus is not alone in his predicament. A. Muralitharan, A. Ganeson and K. Nanthakumar claim that they too were victims of Mafa’s financial mismanagement.
Murali said he was not paid nine months’ salary for 2006-2007 while
Ganeson and Nanthakumar said they did not get paid for seven months
each in 2007.
For someone who has had a successful career for over a decade since
turning pro in 1994 with his home state Terengganu, Mohd Noor said his
experience with the Mafa was the worst ever.
Mohd Noor had also played for Perak, Penang, Kelantan, Public Bank, Sarawak and MK Land before finally signing with Malacca.
“I had a wonderful football career all the while until my salary
problem cropped up in 2007. It was a shocking experience when you are
down and out, with no money and no one to turn to for help. Even the FA
of Malaysia (FAM) washed their hands off us,” said a disappointed Mohd
Noor, who has since quit the game and only found a permanent job in
April.
“It was the worst time of my life as we were running low on cash and
most of us had families to take care off,” said the sole breadwinner,
who has three children.
“Luckily, I had some savings and that kept us afloat for some time. But
some of my team-mates were not so fortunate. Some had to beg for money
and had their cars repossessed.
“But nobody came to our rescue. When we asked Mafa for help, they passed the buck to FAM and vice-versa.
“Things hit rock bottom during Hari Raya in 2007. We needed cash to buy
clothes and food for our kids but we were only given a pittance – about
RM200 – by Mafa. We were in dire straits and had no choice but to take
the money. It is almost two years now and I have not been paid a single
cent for those six months,” said Mohd Noor.
“I still have a couple of years of football left in me but I gave up
the game in disgust. I know now that it does not pay to be a pro
footballer and I have warned my two boys, aged 10 and three, not follow
in my footsteps even though they too love playing football.
“I have stopped encouraging them to play football and I have even
confiscated the balls that I bought for them,” added a dejected Mohd
Noor.
Although angry with both FAM and Mafa, he admitted that there wasn’t much the national governing body could do for them.
“I don’t totally blame FAM because it is the state FAs who put us in
such a dilemma. Still, FAM should do something and not allow such
unprofessional conduct by their affiliates to go unchecked,” said Mohd
Noor. - The Star |
