SELANGOR’S Crown Prince, Raja Muda Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, takes after his father, the Sultan, in many ways, especially when dealing with issues concerning the rakyat’s welfare.

Goal can now confirm another rumoured signing for the reserve team, after talking to club CEO Johan Kamal Hamidon on Tuesday.
The Red Giants have signed 19-year old Burmese winger Hein Htet Aung from Myanmar National League club Hanthawaddy United.
The teenager had been with Hantharwady since 2018, helping them to a second-place finish in the league last year.

We think he s a good talent who we can develop into a formidable player, revealed Johan. We think him, George and Jordan can be prepared as future first team players or as players whose sale we can profit from.
Goal on Wednesday. Or at least that was the plan. The [kit launch] video was supposed to be shot there, we ve even finalised the stryline, but to be honest we couldn t develop it (the general launch plan) further. Due to the pandemic restrictions, we didn t know the size of crowd we could bring, the type of gathering we could do, the questions that we could not answer then and even today. We didn t want to spend resources on something uncertain.
Also forced to be scrapped was a complementary launch plan of opening club-run pop-up stores in all nine districts in the state of Selangor, from where fans could purchase the new shirt in person.
The bad? After the current batch runs out, fans will have to wait until May to buy one. We have around 1,600 more pieces coming in on Thursday or Friday, and that s all we have for now. The club have sold 2,500 so far, and when these are finished, we will have sold a total of 4,200 of the kits. Combined with those sold by Joma (the manufacturer) and resellers, there s about 6,000 of them being sold for now. We didn t order too many because we were cautious about the interest during the pandemic. If we do a new reorder, the shirts will only arrive sometime in early May because they are made in China and the coming Chinese New Year.
