MELAKA – Melaka United Football Club’s chief executive officer Datuk Justin Lim today denied rumours that he would soon resign from the club.

Lim said he would remain committed to lead Melaka United.

“I am a businessman who is new to the football industry and certainly will not be an exception to various challenges and criticism. All these challenges will serve as a learning curve for me to lead the club. My sincere hope is to lift the cub to a higher level.

“I am always ready to face problems and find ways to solve problems that arise. I have never intended or will run away from my commitment or duties,” he said in a statement today.

Lim admitted that he was initially disappointed with share issues involving the club but after discussions with the various stakeholders, a consensus had been met and the problem was in the process of being solved.

He said the team’s performance since he took over last year can be commended due to a number of good results and remained optimistic that the team can achieve better success in the new season.

“Melaka United Football Club values the support and patience of the fans, the sponsors, support from the state government, Melaka Football Association and all stakeholders. All this will serve as our motivation to move forward,” he said. – Bernama, August 29, 2022
