KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) owner Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has rubbished claims by Malaysian clubs that they cannot afford to adopt the zeon ...

This is important as the pitch at National Stadium only gets full exposure to sunlight for roughly one hour per day. Maintenance (for pitch) does not cost more than RM300,000, so where is the logic that teams cannot afford this? "There are even clubs which receive RM20 million to more than RM30 million budgets from their state governments. "The Sports Ministry's offer to improve pitches in each stadium in the country is a good step which I hope will be well received by the clubs. Our neighbours Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam have already switched their pitches. Tunku Ismail believes this is a good initiative which should be taken up by Malaysian clubs as it will benefit the sport in the country.
