KUALA LUMPUR: The FA of Malaysia (FAM) and Malaysian Football League (MFL) must ensure that extreme on-field provocation does not become a cancer in domestic competitions.

This was voiced by sports analyst Datuk Dr Pekan Ramli following an incident of extreme provocation during the second leg of the FA Cup semi-final between Kuching City FC and Selangor FC on Sunday.

The FAM Disciplinary Committee has been urged to investigate the incident, impose punishments in order to safeguard the image of Malaysian football.
