About Us

StraitScore covers Malaysian football for readers who follow it closely, in both English and Bahasa Melayu.

Two editions, not one translated twice

We publish two editions. The English edition serves readers who follow Malaysian football in English — including Chinese-Malaysian and expatriate readers, and Malaysians who simply read football in English. The Bahasa Melayu edition at /ms/ serves Malay-speaking readers.

These are not translations of each other. Each edition is written for its own audience, and a story that matters to one may not run in the other. Where a piece genuinely belongs in both, we write it twice rather than run it through a translator.

What we cover

• Malaysian football — the Malaysia Super League, the Malaysia Cup, and the clubs.
• Harimau Malaya — the national team, qualifiers and the squad.
• World football, from here — the Premier League, the Champions League and the World Cup, covered with Malaysian kickoff times and Malaysian context.

How we work

Every article carries a byline naming who produced it and the date it was published. The Our Writers page lists every byline. A piece that rests on another outlet’s report says so in a notice above the text, and that notice is updated when the story is confirmed, denied or goes quiet. Where a piece has been updated after publication, we say so and when.

Fixtures, results and league tables on this site sync automatically from API-Football, and every page carrying them names that source. Where a competition’s calendar has not been published yet, the page says so rather than filling the gap with fixtures that do not exist.

Corrections

If we have got something wrong, tell us and we will fix it. Corrections to a published article are noted on the article itself rather than made silently. Write to us via the Contact page.

Independence

StraitScore is editorially independent. Sponsored or commercial content, if we ever run it, will be labelled as such and will not be written by the editorial team.
