Gan, 30 made the news recently after he sold his bike for RM4,500 to make it to Qatar for the Harimau Malaya match against South Korea, after advertising it on Facebook in December last year.

Gan had earlier said the bike was the only motorcycle in his life although he had a car, used by his wife.
