The current president of the Football Association of Sarawak (FAS), Abang Zulkarnain Abang Abdul Rahman, enjoys full support from stake holders and FAS affiliates.
According to FAS Competition Manager, Fitry Johnwayne, the FA needs someone like Abang Zulkarnain to lead FAS as he has a lot of experience, within FAS and the Football Association of Malaysia.
Fitry which was speaking to Harimau Malaya, said that someone like Abang Zulkarnain to lead FAS and get Sarawak football back to its glory days.
“Since Abang Zulkarnain took over, it seems all affiliates, all 12, seem to be supportive of Abang Zulkarnain’s vision and mission which will lead towards the glory days of Sarawak football.” Fitry said in the interview.
Fitry also said that the first phase of FAS’s vision and mission had met 80 percent completion, unless it involves large sums of money.
He also said that currently FAS is pausing most competitive activities to focus on SUKMA, where FAS is greatly involved.
He noted that FAS will start most FAS related competitive activities after the SUKMA is over although courses are still on going.
Fitry also said that one of the biggest objective is to improve FAS’s image, which he noted wasn’t great in the past.
He also noted that FAS had started actively engaging their followers via social media with their new Facebook having over 6,000 followers to date.
