From police briefings to CCTV installations, Malaysian football clubs step up security amid assaults on players

PULLOUT FROM SEASON OPENER&nbsp,

The Malaysian Football League ( MFL ) made the decision to end the game on Friday, prompting Selangor FC to withdraw from the Charity Shield competition. Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, the king of Selangor, expressed his disappointment that the MFL had turned down the match’s ask. &nbsp,

The club has unreluctably chosen not to play in the game following extensive discussion and thorough analysis, as well as a number of legal incidents and current threats to many players and team officials.

They stated in a speech on May 8 that they “deeply regret” the situation, adding that” we would like to emphasize that the safety of the group is of the greatest value.”

The Selangor Royal Office’s sponsor on Thursday stated in a speech on Facebook that “it is ideal for Selangor FC to not play in the upcoming game, which is the first game of the 2024 Super League,” in light of recent incidents that have put lives of players and officials in jeopardy.

His Royal Highness thinks that winning the Cup should be prioritized over the health and lives of the people at this time. ” &nbsp,

Mr. Edwards, the CEO of JDT, responded that his group was upset that Selangor FC had chosen to leave the game despite receiving security assurances from the police.

In a Twitter article on May 9, he wrote,” We strongly condemn the affair involving Felipe Halim and the alleged risks that some Selangor FC players have received, but we hope Selangor FC is rethink their decision to withdraw from the game because it could set a precedent for teams to withdraw because they feel uncomfortable, and that too despite assurances from the Royal Malaysian Police,” he said.

He claimed that despite having formerly been attacked in angry settings in Pahang, Perak, and Kelantan, JDT continued to travel and played those games under increased police presence. &nbsp,

The Sultan Ibrahim Stadium has never been attacked, according to Selangor. In previous games, their staff and fans were escorted by authorities into the facility and to their cars.

We must place our faith in government to evaluate the current incidents involving Akhyar Rashid, Faisal Halim, and Safiq Rahim, he said, and to ensure the working of the 2024-25 football season. &nbsp,

The” show must go on,” Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, who also owns JDT, stated in an Instagram post on May 9 that the” show must go on.”

” In life, the show must go on. #thegameisrigged# whatcanyoudo”, he said in the caption of a reel.

Small businesses not reaping the rewards of PM Modi’s flagship ‘Make in India’ scheme

AGRA’S Buckskin IS A KEY INDUSTRY

Traditional and labor-intensive industries, such as leather and textiles, you, according to analysts, be more effective at tackling employment than technology and services.

In Agra, the aboriginal leather industry is a vital source of employment. It accounts for 30 % of all Indian leather shoes.

Dawar Group, one of the biggest players, employs more than 1,500 people and sells its boots both domestically and internationally.

The firm said it has benefitted from the BJP government’s business- pleasant policies, which include streamlined processes to obtain permits, lower business taxes, and easier insolvency procedures.

However, it is difficult to generate substantial profits because of the labor-intensive sector’s high production costs.

Puran Dawar, the leader of Dawar Group, noted that India has a much higher investment cost than other nations.

” The world is getting it at 0 to 2 per cent. We are working at 8 to 10 per share, but modern development or scaling up … it becomes a little hard”, he said.

Those who have budgets and dream on a tight budget face yet greater difficulties. Mr Naval Kishore, who works in the Dawar stock, said plans like” Make in India” do no use to the poorest.

After working in the field for a long time, he claims to have failed numerous days in trying to launch his own business. The authorities had turned down his mortgage application, claiming that he needed to start a small business to make money and was not creating any jobs.

Small companies in Agra’s well-known leather industry also expressed concern that they were largely cut off from the system because they had failed to gain from it.

However, economists predict that as these guidelines progress, folks like Mr. Naval and small business owners will start to benefit.

According to Dr. Rajat Kathuria, professor of Shiv Nadar University’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences,” this topic is related to how quickly the effects of industry kind of flow down all the way down to the remote areas that you’re seeing.”

” Trickle- along happens on its own, but happens pretty slowly”, he added.
