The Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) secretariat is operating as usual in spite of an order issued by the Youth and Sports Affairs Minister Andi Mallarangeng for the association's leader Nurdin Halid to step down, and for all PSSI staff to vacate their office.
Gelora Bung Karno Stadium's management and development director Mahfudin Nigara on Wednesday dropped off a letter at the PSSI office in the compound ordering Nurdin to halt to all activities at the office.
The letter called for the PSSI's staff to vacate the office. However, the staff chose to stay put.
“The employees still want to work as they feel comfortable. Everything is continuing as normal and the secretariat is still running,” a member of the PSSI's executive committee, Togar Manahan Nero, said on Wednesday.
He said the PSSI was prioritizing its running of soccer's Indonesian Super League.
“It is important that the secretariat keeps functioning so that all administrative work can continue to be done. If the secretariat closes down, what will happen to the [PSSI] members and the clubs?” he said, as reported by kompas.com.
