It replaced the [[M-League]] as the highest division a professional football team in Malaysia can participate in. Introduced in [[2004]], the Malaysia Super League catered only to the top eight football teams in the country. The bottom two teams at the end of the season are usually [[relegated]] to the [[Malaysian Premier League]]. The [[Football Association of Malaysia]] (FAM) also decided to privatize the league and created MSL Sendirian Berhad (or MSL Proprietary Limited) to oversee the marketing aspects of the game. The league used to have eight teams and teams would play three rounds of matches (21 matches in total). The first two rounds were played on a home/away format while the third round would be hosted by the stadium which had the bigger attendance during the first two rounds. From [[Malaysia Super League 2006-07]] the league will have 14 teams, and all teams will play each other only twice (26 matches total). ==Champions== Since its inception in [[Malaysia Super League 2004|2004]], the [[Malaysia Super League]] title has seen four different teams become champions. [[Kedah FA]] becomes the first club that won the [[Malaysia Super League]] title back-to-back, in [[Malaysia Super League 2006-07|2006-07]] season and in [[Malaysia Super League 2007-08|2007-08]] season. {| border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; font-size: 85%; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" |- bgcolor="#efefef" !

When it began, it was intended primarily as a qualifying tournament for the final knock-out stages of the [[Malaysia Cup]]. However over the years since then, the league competition has gained important stature in its own right. Initially the only teams only allowed to participate in the league were the state FA's sides, teams representing the [[Military of Malaysia|Armed Forces]] and the [[Royal Malaysian Police|Police]], and teams representing the neighbouring countries of [[Singapore]] and [[Brunei]] (though the [[Football Association of Singapore]] pulled out of the Malaysian League after the 1994 season following a dispute with the Football Association of Malaysia over gate receipts, and has not been involved since). In recent years, top Malaysian club teams have also been admitted to the league competition. Between '''1989 to 1993''' and '''1998 to 2003''', the football league in Malaysia was divided into two groups: *1) [[First Division]]: [[Malaysian Premier I League]] *2) [[Second Division]]: [[Malaysian Premier II League]] Between '''2004 to 2006''', the professional football league in Malaysia was divided into three groups: *1) [[First Division]]: [[Malaysian Super League]] *2) [[Second Division]]: [[Malaysian Premier League]] [[Group A]] *3) [[Second Division]]: [[Malaysian Premier League]] [[Group B]] *4) [[Second Division]]: [[Malaysian Premier League Championship]] Between '''1994 to 1997''', there was no second level league as the top two leagues were combined. Prior to the introduction of the current set-up, the top league competition in Malaysia was known as the '''Semi-Pro League''' (1989-93), and the '''[[M-League]]''' (1994-2003). ===Pre-2004 Malaysian football league top-level champions=== {| border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; font-size: 85%; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" |- bgcolor="#efefef" !

Successive losses would condemn teams to a relegation dogfight. Similarly, successive wins would put a team in contention for the title. Notable examples include: * In [[Malaysia Super League 2005|2005]] season, [[Perak FA]] was rooted at the bottom of the table (with 12 points from 3 wins, 3 draws & 8 losses) after 14 rounds (which was already two-third of the season), relegation dangers seemed imminent back then. However, 6 straight wins that followed propelled them into direct contention for 2nd place with [[Pahang FA]] (the defending champions then) on the last day of the season. They eventually lost that game, but still finished in a respectable 3rd place. * In [[Malaysia Super League 2005-06|2006]] season, [[Selangor MPPJ]] was leading the table (with 21 points from 7 wins, 1 draw & 2 losses) after 10 rounds (which was almost half of the season), winning the title to follow up their famous victory in 2003 [[Malaysia Cup]] was certainly on the cards. However, 8 losses in a row subsequently left them in deep relegation troubles. Their place in the [[Malaysia Super League]] was only saved with 2 straight wins in the final rounds of the season. In the end they finished in a disappointing 5th place. ===Constant Format Changes=== The reasons given for the formation of the Malaysian Super League was the need to improve the standard of football in Malaysia. However, the Malaysian Super League was criticized by local press. Many called it a variation of the older [[M-League]] but with fewer teams in the top division. Many also disagreed with the fact that the league format changed almost annually and it is a problem which persists until today. The Malaysian Super League has gone through two format changes in its short history spanning three-years. The [[Football Association of Malaysia]] decided to expand the Malaysian Super League to accommodate 14 teams instead of 8, which was the number of league teams in the Malaysian Super League's first three seasons. ===Foreign Players=== The professionalism of some teams have also been questioned. Most Malaysia Super League teams view foreign players as a necessity and as a result, most teams usually fill up their rosters with unknown foreigners. Teams usually sign foreigners based on their performances in pre-season trials. It is not uncommon for foreign players to be released after just two or three matches or be kept on the sidelines for an entire season. The last case of unprofessional conduct involved [[Ivan Ziga]], a [[Slovakia]]n player who plays for [[Sarawak FA]]. Ivan Ziga claims his contract was terminated nine-months early without any explanation. He also claimed he was not paid. He took his plight to the [[Football Association of Malaysia]] but received no reply until [[Ivan Ziga]] threatened to take the case to [[FIFA]]. Ivan Ziga's case is not uncommon in Malaysia, with most other cases involving African players who are either not paid or left stranded when their contracts are terminated early without any proper explanation given by teams. ==Players== ===Golden Boot Winners=== {| border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; font-size: 85%; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse;" |- !
