The 2020 Malaysian league is unlikely to be resumed even after the movement control order (MCO) is lifted in the country, at least according to a recent government press conference.
When fielding questions from the press on Saturday April 25, Senior Minister of Security Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob reiterated that any type of gatherings, including football matches, will be disallowed after the MCO is lifted.
"A game of football is contested between two teams, that means 22 players. Unlike in badminton, footballers make physical contact with each other. According to the standard operating procedures, no football matches can be held even after MCO.
