The Raja Muda who is FAS patron will be replacing Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal who will officially resign on July 3.

The media had earlier reported that Subahan who was elected as FAS president in February had decided to give up the post in the association due to his heavy burden as the president of the Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC).
