KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- Footballl Assocation of Malaysia (FAM) secretary general Datuk Seri Dr Ibrahim Saad, who will relinquish the post on Aug 15, can continue to carry out his duties as Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) vice president.

OCM honorary secretary Datuk Sieh Kok Chi said it was up to Ibrahim whether to step down or retain his position in the council."The OCM constitution is quite flexible.
