We are surprised to see official social media accounts of Kedah FA trying to manipulate fans by spreading inaccurate information following Johor Darul Ta'zim FC's (JDT) announcement that the Southern Tigers are in negotiations with free agent, Akhyar Rashid. [1/4]

We would like to stress that there is no need to contact Kedah FA as Akhyar is a free agent following his contract termination with Kedah.

[2/4]

The compensation due to Kedah should JDT sign Akhyar has been predetermined by Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) following a recent decision that is in accordance to football regulations.

[3/4]

JDT will honour the decision and make the necessary payment should we reach an agreement with Akhyar.
