KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Indian FA (MIFA) have no intention of withdrawing from the Premier League but may have to cease their operations should a fine of RM500,000 not be reduced on appeal. MIFA are one of 10 teams hit with a total of RM9 million in fines by Football Malaysia LLP (FMLLP) for late or incomplete submission of registration documents. "We will file our appeal to FMLLP next week and we hope they will consider our situation. With a budget of RM6 million for the season, the RM500,000 fine is nearly 10 per cent of MIFA's operating expenditure. Mohan said the fine is excessive for the late submission of just one document from the Inland Revenue Board.
