'Harimau Malaya' goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, 21, has been presented with a house by the Kelantan state government.

Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said the present is in recognition of his superb display when helping Malaysia becoming AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 champions recently.

"I leave details of the house to the exco member concerned," he said at a function to honour Khairul Fahmi at Kampung Cherang Ruku in Kota Bharu today.

Also present is the exco member for human development, sports and non-governmental organisations (NGO) Abdul Fattah Mahmood.

Nik Aziz said the price and location of the house will be announced at a later date.

"The Kelantan government is proud of Khairul Fahmi and hopes that he will continue to play well.

"He is a young and talented player and will continue to shine in football," he added.
