Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said that several Indonesian football fans tried to barge into the area reserved for Malaysian fans.

Syed Saddiq, who was at the stadium to watch the game, said the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) will lodge an official complaint with world governing body FIFA.

“I will also lodge an official report with the Indonesian government and my counterpart,” he said in an Instagram post, adding he will fight for justice for Malaysians.

“We will not tolerate gangsterism in any event. The safety of the Malaysian players and fans are my priority.”

According to a Facebook post by Harimau Malaya, Malaysian fans were pelted with stones and provoked by angry Indonesian fans.

“Malaysian fans are being attacked,” it claimed.
