KUALA LUMPUR October 2, 2026 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has congratulated Harimau Malaya on a stylish 6-0 victory over Singapore in the ASEAN FIFA Cup 2026, praising the national team’s fighting spirit even as Malaysia missed out on a place in the final.
In a statement posted on his official X account, Anwar wrote: “Tahniah Harimau Malaya atas kemenangan bergaya 6-0 ke atas Singapura dalam aksi Piala ASEAN FIFA 2026 malam tadi.”
He said that although Harimau Malaya had fallen short of reaching the final, the team’s determination throughout the campaign continued to make the Malaysian people proud and showed that the national side could compete and give its best.
