Umno information chief Annuar Musa said he decided to run for the presidency of Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) out of concern that no other individuals would do so.

The Ketereh MP said today that he submitted the nomination form after being told that no one else had done so ,as of yesterday.

“Yesterday I asked (FAM) whether anybody had responded (and confirmed) their candidacy, and they (FAM) said none.

“I was afraid that no one wanted to run (so) I signed the (nomination) form and as of now, I am the only person who had submitted it and accepted my candidacy,” said Annuar during a press conference after a meeting with representatives from The United Chinese School Committees' Association of Malaysia (Dong Zong).
