We are disappointed to be accused of approaching Akhyar Rashid without speaking to Kedah. JDT may be interested in signing Akhyar if he was available but we are aware that he is still under contract and have not offered terms to Akhyar because of this. [1/2]

We do not appreciate the accusations just because a player wants to terminate his contract. Should Akhyar be a free agent, he is free to negotiate with any club that wants him, including JDT.
