KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak United FC and Melaka United FC will be tried at the National Dispute Resolution Chambers (NDRC) level on April 6 after failing to pay their players’ salary arrears.

According to Professional Players Association of Malaysia (PFAM) chief executive officer Izham Ismail, Melaka United have salary arrears of more than RM1 million while Sarawak United less than RM500,000 involving 20 players who are covered under PFAM from the two clubs.

“We have sent several letters to them (Melaka United and Sarawak United) but there is no space or initiative to solve the problem.

“So, PFAM had to use the next step which is the law.

“We hope there will be a decision from the NDRC hearings next week before taking these cases to court,” he said.

Melaka United and Sarawak United were dropped from the Super League this year when the two clubs’ application for a National Licence were rejected following the problem of salary arrears in the previous season.
