Only Brunei missing from the World Cup qualifier though if the PSSI carry on its cack handed manner they may soon face the wrath of FIFA.

Which may not be a bad thing seeing that they got thumped by Turkmenistan recently in the Olympic Qualifiers.

Eye catching is a potential Causeway Derby between Malaysia, AFF Cup and SEA Games holders, against a Singapore side perhaps at a crossroads.

Back in 2007, if I recall, Timor Leste played their World Cup qualifier home leg in Bali...

If South East Asia gets two teams through to the next round they will have done bloody well. Thailand should get through, as should Malaysia. Or Singapore.
