He was left in critical condition after being splashed with acid at a shopping mall.Malaysia’s football association has recommended players consider hiring bodyguards and Johor Darul Ta’zim have beefed up security for their squad after their midfielder Safiq Rahim became the third player to be attacked over the past week.
The Selangor FC winger Faisal Halim was left in critical condition after being splashed with acid at a shopping mall on Sunday, and the national team player Akhyar Rashid was injured in a robbery outside his home in the eastern state of Terengganu last week, media reported. Safiq, who was unharmed, said in a copy of a police report shared on Instagram that two men on a motorcycle approached his car with a hammer and smashed his rear windscreen.
JDT, who are run by the crown prince of the Johor royal family, called on police to investigate the attack on Safiq and said they had advised players to be cautious of their surroundings and about what they post on social media.
