All of this is the work of Tunku Mahkota Johor (TMJ), FAM (Football Association of Malaysia), police, and MFL (Malaysian Football League)
"All these cases have nothing to do with football, occurring outside the stadium and football areas. But let's all come together in solidarity to stop violence in football," he wrote, including the hashtag #It'sAllTMJ'sFault.

"Al-Fatihah for the two national heroes who sacrificed in this tragedy. May they be placed among the believers and also the martyrs," said His Majesty.
Previously, mStar reported that two police officers died after being attacked by a man in the early hours of Friday morning.
The Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, informed that the 34-year-old suspect who was shot dead was a member of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)
