Despite two death threats and a memorandum to the state government calling for his dismissal as Football Association of Penang (FAP) president, Zairil Khir Johari said today he will not vacate the post.

“I was elected to this post. I did not elect myself,” Zairil said at a press conference when asked about strong criticisms against his leadership of the FAP.

“It is the state’s money, and matters involving FAP should be handled responsibly,” he added.
