KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir has extended his condolences to the family of former Penang goalkeeper Firos Mohamed, who died while playing in the ‘Legend All Star’ 4-Corner Football Tournament at the Manjung Municipal Council Stadium last night.
In a Facebook post this morning, Zambry expressed deep sorrow over the loss, describing it as a significant blow to the Malaysian football community.
“I have instructed that all necessary assistance be extended to Firos’ family, including arrangements for the transport and burial of his remains, to ensure the process is handled smoothly.
“My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. May they be granted strength and resilience during this difficult time,” he said.
