In the end, leniency prevailed yet again.
After having threatened Super League side Melaka United and Premier League outfits Kelantan and Sarawak with grant reduction and points deduction, Malaysian competitions organiser Malaysian Football League (MFL) in the end decided that the three teams would not have their points slashed after all.
On April 22, it was announced by MFL that the three teams, along with Felda United, Kuala Lumpur, PDRM and Pulau Pinang will have their annual grants slashed by half for the failure to register their 2019 rosters on time.
