Bribe Wars: Return of The Bookies

Malaysia football nightmares start all over again and I suspected local football players had been throwing matches since last year because international bookies has began giving odds to Malaysia Football League.

Yesterday, I read in the newspapers that several players have been detained for match fixing and several more are being investigated. The numbers should be a lot higher than that and there should also be players from other teams besides Sarawak and Police.

I saw it coming a while back as I had noticed, since last year, that local league matches and cup ties had been offered by the bookies and licensed international bookmakers together with the usual English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and some others.

Malaysia football is still famous because of its corruption…

NUMBER ONE in the world.

After 1994, where lot of Malaysian football player being send to jail and buang negeri, Malaysia football bribery seems died for awhile!

But the present situation was a little different from when I learn about illegal betting in nineties from those coffee shops near Dah Yeh Villa, as now uncle 40 -50 years old visit cyber café regularly to watch Livescore and place bet.

Some uncles are tech savvy who own a notebook and use wifi.

Those days every bookie got a few small handbooks and always gives tips in coffee shop. That means is harder for police to catch those people, as bookies no longer need to frequent coffeeshops or dens to do business.

But finding proof of match fixing was difficult. Just before the crackdown on players in 1994, I heard that Sabah team was bribed by three different bookies. The Striker and Midfielder, The defender and also the Goalkeeper!!!

UNBELIEVEABLE!

International stars earn around RM300k a mth but our local hero earn only RM3K a month. When people offer Rm10k just to throw ONE match and there are usually 6 to 8 matches a month

so…. If no bribe one moth only RM3k and if one month fully bribed RM83,000.00

Such a huge different…. MANA TAHAN oh… Like a convict who never had sex for 20years and see Miss Malaysia lying naked on the floor!!!

The best way to tackle this situation in this case is by educating players and match officials; Tell them, they would burn in hell if they do this!

hahaha.... GOOOD BYE BOLA SEPAK!!
