This ⁤incident‍ raises serious questions about PSM Makassar’s internal procedures.

Moderator: Vietnamese‌ media have even termed it a ‌”humorous incident.”​ Do ​you⁣ think there’s anything funny about this situation, given its potential implications ​for the BRI League 1?

Bambang: Humor is subjective, but this isn’t⁢ the time for ​laughter. This⁣ situation‍ casts a shadow over ​the league’s integrity. PSM makassar currently sits⁢ comfortably ⁣in fourth ​place, but imagine ⁢the uproar if this incident had a direct impact on ⁤the final standings.
