14 October 2018, a date those with close affection for Perlis football will want to redo. A date that saw much hope and promise when Ahmad Amizal Shaifit Ahmad Shafie was elected as the new president of the Perlis Football Association (PFA). Fast forward just four months later and the roof have crumbled down on the association.
In an announcement made on 20 February 2019, Malaysian Football League (MFL) decided that enough is enough and Perlis will have their participation in the 2019 Malaysia Premier League season revoked. It is a sorry state of affairs that led to this decision but one which has a long and sustained history in Malaysian football - the inability to pay.
