As 2019 has now come to a close it’s time to rest up with family and friends ?? . It is also the time where I can now announce that I will sadly be leaving Perak after 2 amazing years in Ipoh as management and I couldn’t come to an agreement ? . I have always given my all for Perak every time I have stepped onto the field.. but sometimes in football it is not enough.. I have cherished every moment of the 2 years spent in Ipoh and have so many great memories that will last with me for a lifetime ??? . To the family I have gained and to the brothers I went to war with every week.. you are all amazing players and make everyone feel like a true family, I can’t thank each and every one of you enough as we have achieved so much together, in creating history for the state. You will always be apart of my football family, I wish you all the best in your future footballing career and beyond ?? . To the most important part of any club, The Supporters, you have been the reason I wanted to run through a brick wall each and every week, the passion you show, the support you show and the love you showed not just myself but to the team was inspiring, I will miss you all and will always remember the positive impact you made on my life, I hope I repaid that with giving my 100% for the badge every game ?????? . To Coach Mehmet, thank you for backing me in the ups and downs and always being a true role model, I am sure we will work together in the future as you truly made me feel like family??? . To the office staff, thank you for the hard work you put in behind the scenes, a successful club relies on people like you, so thank you for a great 2 years ?? . Special mention to @shahrulyahya who always put 100% trust in me ?? . Football is everything to me, but it is a business to some, we will remember the history we have created and who knows, maybe one day I will be able to return to Perak . Now to move forward to exciting times, I will announce my future in the coming days ? . Thank you to Perak and all my friends I have made there, it’s never goodbye, it’s always See You Soon ????
