Earlier this week, it was reported in the news that the sports commissioner’s office (PJS) said through a statement that the Automobile Association of Malaysia‘s (AAM) status as a sports body had been cancelled, meaning that it no longer has the power to recognise, organise or engage in any motor sports activities, both locally and abroad.
In response to this, AAM has issued a statement saying there were inaccuracies in the statement made by PJS, and that it remains as the motorsports sanctioning authority in Malaysia through the mandate given to it by the international motorsports authorities (FIA, FIM and CIK).
As such, it continues to perform its function in sanctioning, issuance of racing licenses, insurance and other matters relating to motorsports as set out in the guidelines set by the international motorsports bodies.
The association said the statement by PJS, aside from raising more questions than answers, had caused much commotion amongst the motorsport fraternity, creating confusion and backlash among members of the association, clubs and organisers who have long been under AAM stewardship. It added that race license holders and race officials have also been severely affected by this predicament.
It said it is actively pursuing options to address the issue, but will continue to perform its roles without fear or favour and with upmost neutrality in protecting the interests of its members, affiliated clubs and the motorsports fraternity in the country.

AAM is a big disgrace. I don’t know how they want to govern Motorsports when previously, even their basic tow truck services also cannot get it right.
I call tow truck in the middle of the hot sun at 11 am, the tow truck come at 5pm. 6 hours later.
This is how bad AAM service is. I don’t know how they want to govern Motorsports.
Also AAM, many people membership money hilang because one day you close shop suddenly. Pls refund the membership money first.
I bought 3 years membership….suddenly hilang.
How this kind of company want to run motorsports?
This AAM is not the same as that AAM you noob. Stop repeating that fake story.
sorry brother.. wrong topic. AAM motorsports has nothing to do with the AAM you’re talking about. They are an FIA affiliate. The lesson here again, which even the new govt has not learned anything from the previous, is that politics and sports cannot mix.
This is the problem with abang abangs. All the time fighting amongst themselves that we the public don’t know what is true anymore
