Shuhaily has declined the position due to existing commitments and responsibilities within his current role at the border control agency, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The decision comes as the FAM seeks to strengthen its governance structures through enhanced oversight mechanisms. The integrity committee plays a crucial role in upholding standards within Malaysian football's administrative and competitive frameworks.
No alternative candidates for the deputy chairman position have been announced at this stage. The FAM is expected to pursue other qualified individuals who may have greater availability to dedicate to the committee's work.
This development reflects ongoing efforts within Malaysian sports governance to balance institutional responsibilities with the demands placed on public sector officials who are frequently called upon to serve in advisory and oversight capacities across multiple organizations.
