A document containing salary information of Kedah players for 2017 and 2018 has gone viral after it was leaked on social media earlier today.<\/p>\n

This particular document showcased a comparison of salaries earned by Kedah players in 2017 and 2018, besides noting the percentage of increase that was afforded to every single one of them.<\/p>\n

Given that it’s a confidential document, speculation on social media suggests that it was leaked by individuals with access to important statistics and documents at the Kedah FA headquarters in Alor Setar.<\/p>\n

Here’s a photo of the leaked document.<\/p>\n

According to the document, the highest paid players in Kedah are Liridon Krasniqi and Sandro da Silva – both of whom receive a staggering\u00a0RM128,670.00 per month while Baddrol Bakthiar is the highest paid local player with a salary of RM77,109.05 per month.<\/p>\n

From a comparative standpoint, Akhyar Rashid was handed the biggest increment – he is now paid\u00a0RM16,869.05 per month, compared to his 2017 salary, which was a mere\u00a0RM2,408.88 per month. Rizal Ghazali and Khairul Helmi were two other individuals who were handed an increment of 53% and 48%, respectively.<\/p>\n

But this revelation doesn’t come as a complete shock, given that most footballers in the M-League receive salaries of similar amounts. In fact, a number of clubs in Malaysia even pay salaries that are of a higher scale, when compared to the amount Kedah pay their players.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the New Straits Times revealed the amount of money certain clubs pay the biggest players in their team<\/a>. Johor DT used to pay Patito Rodriguez a sum of RM250,000 per month, while Pahang dished out RM160,000 for Dickson Nwakaeme on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n

As for locals, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha was said to be the highest-paid player back then with a salary of RM80,000 per month, while Indra Putra and Shukor Adan were paid RM75,000 per month by Felda United. JDT skipper, Safiq Rahim on the other hand, received a salary of RM70,000 per month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
