Perak FC have been given a six-point deduction in their 2022 Premier League campaign after failing to settle salary arrears of players and officials belonging to the main and reserve teams since November 2021.

This comes after a three-point deduction as the management missed the initial deadline on March 31 set by the First Instance Body (FIB).

Perak FC fans have been gathering donations to help pull their team through these rough times following the nine-point deduction.
