KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur (KL) City club patron Fahmi Fadzil expressed full commitment to resolve the club's salary arrears problem as soon as possible to ensure the team is ready to face the 2024/2025 Super League competition.

Fahmi, who is also the Minister of Communications, said he had asked Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Kamarulzaman Mat Salleh to contact the Malaysian Football League (MFL) to express his full commitment to resolve the issue in accordance with the process set by MFL.

“I was appointed as patron last June and recently maybe two or three weeks ago, some parties from the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) and KL City met with me to ask to discuss some things.

“... so two days ago, I, the chief executive officer of KL City Stanley Bernard, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territory) Dr Zaliha Mustafa and Kamarulzaman reached an agreement to speed up some things to help make the payment. God willing in a short time according to a certain process, we will settle whatever is owed, especially the players,“ he told reporters after meeting Stanley Bernard and some of the club’s players at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium here today.

Meanwhile, Fahmi also expressed his appreciation to KLFA president Khalid Samad who resigned yesterday for his contribution since steering the club in 2019.
