Controversy
When the Malaysia Premier League in 2012 was just three matches into the season, one of the Perlis player was called up by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist investigation of an evidence-inadequate match-fixing and corruption allegation involving the player after Perlis had been badly beaten 2–7 by MP Muar FC in earlier opening match.{{cite news|url=http://ligabolasepakmalaysia.blogspot.com/2011/12/mp-muar-fc-2012.html |title=SPRM bertindak|website=Liga Bolasepak Malaysia|publisher=Harian Metro|date=17 January 2012|language=ms|access-date=3 September 2021}}
The incident had also caught attention and response of Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim then, the President of PBNJ and Crown Prince of Johor.{{cite news|url=http://ligabolasepakmalaysia.blogspot.com/2012/02/pesanan-tunku-mahkota-johor-merangkap.html |title=Pesanan Tunku Mahkota Johor Merangkap Presiden PBNJ Dalam Twitter|website=Liga Bolasepak Malaysia|publisher=Crown Prince of Johor|date=18 February 2012|language=ms|access-date=3 September 2021}}
Acquisitions, takeovers, merger and dissolution
In 2012, Tunku Ismail, the JFA's Royal Patron, announced that JFA would take over all football clubs and associations in the state of Johor which compete in any national level football cup competitions in Malaysia. Hence, MP Muar FC had withdrawn from 2012 Malaysia Premier League and was technically pulled out from Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). All selected players and managers were then transferred to JFA under a club Johor Darul Ta'zim based on ability and experiences.{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-my/news/3896/malaysia/2012/12/05/3579442/johor-fc-change-name-to-darul-takzim-fc-for-2013-season |title = Johor FC change name to Darul Takzim FC for 2013 season |author=Prem Kumar|work = www.goal.com|publisher=GOAL|date =5 December 2012 |access-date =5 December 2012}}
