Posting on his popular Facebook page, Annuar claimed that the LionsXII were playing in the Malaysian Super League to increase the gambling base of Football Association of Singapore's (FAS) principal partner, Singapore Pools, a legalised betting company.
He went on to add: "The LionsXII joined the Malaysian Super League to make more money for Singapore Pools who are funding the FAS, so the federation is implicated as well and are liable for investigation."
Annuar also claimed that LionsXII were fielding an Under-29 team instead of an Under-23 team as proposed at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in August 2011, as a more senior team with recognised players will add to the popularity of the team, and hence lead to more interest from punters.
