Newly minted Football Association of Malaysia president Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim's second major policy decision has been to adopt "Harimau Malaya" as name for the national team.

According to FAM secretary-general Hamidin Mohd Amin, many fans had requested FAM to do so.

"The national team will reuse the Harimau Malaya name in accordance with its original name since its formation.

"It is also in line with the request of many fans to reuse the name based on various historic moments created by the national team during its glory days.

"May the reuse of the 'Harimau Malaya' name shine a new light on Malaysian football development in the long run," said Hamidin in a statement today...
