Hello Malaysia, Hi Kedahans 🇲🇾💚💛
Years ago, I gave everything I had for the green and yellow jersey, sharing unforgettable moments of victory and joy with all of you. Today, I come to you not to celebrate a win on the pitch, but to share a heavy heart. I never thought the hardest battle of my life would be fought in silence, just trying to survive and feed my family.
It breaks my heart to write this. I have thought long and hard about whether to make my situation public—a struggle that has been ongoing since 2024. But I have reached a point of total desperation where I can no longer face this alone.
I am still here in Malaysia, proudly under contract with Kedah Darul Aman FC. However, the crushing truth is that for over two months, I have been left completely abandoned, without any communication or support. The last time I received even a fraction of my salary was on January 10th. Since then, every single attempt to contact the club has been met with silence. There isn't even a physical office I can go to just to plead my case or ask for an explanation.
It is important to clarify that these unpaid months correspond to my new contract (signed in November 2025), and to make matters heavier, I am still owed several months of unpaid wages from my previous contract.
While I have waited in silence, my life has become a daily nightmare. I am currently facing serious legal issues back home in Chile that require my urgent attention, but I am completely paralyzed here. I am a father and a provider, yet right now, my family and I are struggling just to get through each passing day. We are lacking the most basic human necessities. We cannot pay our rent, and the pain of being unable to provide for my family’s essential needs is unbearable.
Through all this darkness, I want to thank the people who have been incredibly kind to me. The support I have received from the fans club has kept me going, and I promise to repay that kindness the moment my situation allows. I will never forget your grace. I also wish to thank to few close friends who always help and support me. I may be a foreigner, but Malaysia is my home. I have swallowed my pride and endured this silence, these hardships, and even humiliating situations because I truly want to work, live, and stay in this beautiful country. I am so proud to be part of it.
I do not consider myself a legend. I am just a man who gave his heart and soul to Malaysian football and to the state of Kedah. My only wish is to continue giving back, now as a coach.
I still hold onto hope that my employer, Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar, will contact me, as it has been impossible to reach him for a very long time. I am only asking for the dignity of a direct conversation to resolve this respectfully. I have always treated this club with the utmost respect, and I only ask for that same respect in return.
I deeply regret having to share this burden with you all. If anyone is able to help my family through this, I have attached my Touch 'n Go QR code below.
May God bless each and every one of you and your beautiful families. Thank you very much for reading and kind heart. 🙏🏼💚💛
