Subkhiddin Mohd Salleh
Subkhiddin Mohd Salleh (born November 17, 1966) is a Malaysian football referee who currently resides in Parit Buntar. He has been a full international referee for FIFA since 2000[1].
He was selected as a referee for the 2007 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Canada, where he refereed the group stage match between Panama and Argentina, the quarterfinal between Chile and Portugal, where he sent off three players. In the latter match, he was involved in a bizarre incident where Portuguese player Zéquinha took the red card out of his hand while sending off Manu, to the bemusement of spectators and sports commentators, which in turn led to the prompt sending-off of the player. He blew the whistle as well at the match between Scotland and Costa Rica.
He was selected as the 4th official for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[2]
