Reports stated that Malaysian authorities are intensifying their investigation into the acid attack on Faisal Halim, with no clear motive yet established.
Despite collecting fingerprints and issuing a suspect photofit, the case remains challenging due to the lack of public witnesses.
The police pledge to persist until justice prevails. This attack follows two other incidents involving national players, suggesting a troubling pattern.
Moreover, Indonesian netizens pointed out that it is unjust that this happened to a national footballer.
They also stated that he brought pride to the country’s name, only for him to be attacked in such an awful way. Users added that no matter how good you are to your country, there will always be someone who is unsatisfied with you.
Kasihan, padahal ia atlet yang berjuang membela dan membawa nama negaranya tapi tidak lepas dari orang yang benci hingga melakukan aksi yang buruk.

Semoga lekas sembuh, dapat keadilan, diberikan rizki melimpah dari pintu manapun tidak hanya dari bola, Faisal Halim…

Typically, our two countries are always rivals. But an incident like this is bringing out the sympathies of our neighbouring country, as they too wish us well. – June 15, 2024
