Foreign Malaysian blooded eligible to play for Malaysia: What's FAM react to this?

This is not a new issue to me as FAM already been informed many many years back. The question now is how FAM react to this issue? I still remember when Shaun Maloney played for Aston Villa 2-3 yrs back, the ESPN commentators highlighted to the whole world that Maloney is eligible to play not just for Scots but also able to play for Malaysia because he was born in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. I was thinking why FAM doesnt react or scouts this player early? Does FAM mislooked him?

Recently, during AFF Suzuki Cup 2010, Indonesia and minnow the Phillippines used some of the foreign players for their national team. Gonzales and Irfan (Indonesia), Etheridge, Younghusband brothers, de Jong (Phillippines). All of them have 2 nationalities that enable them to choose which national team to play whenever they like. Singapore was already done many years back.

As I told before, this is not a new case. Since early 90s, FIFA given a green light to the world that certain nation eligible to call the players if they have at least a native relationship with the country who wish to call them. This is a good news actually for the 3rd football nation level like Malaysia. This is not a violation. This is legal regulation but up until now I dont see my proud country doing this. Why and why? No scouts? No headcount? Did not aware on this?!

In my opinion, for the sake of the development, why not? In today modern football, you need to grab every single opportunity. Malaysia have few players who play abroad. The name like Brendan Gan (Sydney FC, Australia), Titus James (FC Villenoy, France), Tadashi Takeda (Fagiano Okayama FC, Japan), Ash Hameed (QPR Academy) shud able to add strength to the national country. FAM shud react by now. Otherwise, we will regret one day if these players been call to the adopt country.

Lastly, I dont deny the existing squad is improving. Juz give them a try. Who knows these players able to adapt fast and able to understand the principles of the Malaysian football and help, at least, be King of Asean for long long time.
