Malaysia national soccer team.

 

The number of victims of terrorism targeting Malaysian national soccer team players has increased to three.

 

Hong Kong media outlet 'South China Morning Post' reported on the 9th (Korean time) that "Safiq Rahim, former captain of the national team, was attacked by a gunman while traveling in a car." Rahim personally posted a photo of the damage on social media, saying that two men armed with weapons, including a hammer, appeared on a motorcycle and attacked him.

 

This is not the first time a Malaysian national team player has been attacked. Over the past six days, three people have suffered accidents in a row.

 

On the 3rd, Akhyar Rashid was hospitalized after being beaten by unidentified suspects in front of his house, and on the 6th, Faisal Halim suffered burns in an acid attack at a shopping mall.

 

Halim, who was initially known to have suffered second-degree burns, was diagnosed with more than 4th-degree burns, and has difficulty making facial movements and speaking.

 

Halim is well known to Korean fans as he also scored a goal against Korea in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.

 

Malaysian police have stated that there is no connection between the incidents, but fans are concerned about the possibility of serial attacks targeting the Malaysian national soccer team. “We are very shocked and surprised,” said Football Association of Malaysia president Mohammad Amin. I am also worried about the mental health of other players. “This should never happen again,” he said angrily. Malaysian national team coach Kim Pang-gon posted the news of his students' accident on social media and wrote, "I wish them a speedy recovery." Meanwhile, Malaysia will play the 5th and 6th matches of Group D of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round against Kyrgyzstan on June 6 and Taiwan on the 11th.  토토사이트
