PETALING JAYA: A day after bringing shame to national football by disrupting the Malaysia-Saudi Arabia match with flares and fireworks at the Shah Alam Stadium, the diehard national football fans known as Ultras Malaya remained defiant.

On its official Twitter account, the group posted: “Sorry players. Sorry Malaysians. Sorry Saudi Arabians. But it had to be done.”
