The weapon cannot be left just anywhere and must always be in my possession. I carry this weapon everywhere I go, said Abdullah, who is the acting president of the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA).
In the viral video, what appeared to be a pistol could be seen holstered on Abdullah’s hip after he gave a press conference on KLFA’s congress two days ago.
