I am delighted to have penned a
two year contract with the reigning Malaysian Cup Champions Pahang FA. I had a tremendous experience in Hong Kong and felt I achieved all I could there and was looking for I loved my time In South East Asia with Muangthong United in 2011 and believe the ASEAN region is amongst the fastest growing in the Asia.
In the past two years I have enjoyed playing in Malaysia for AFC Cup games with Kitchee and was convinced by those experiences this Country was where I wanted to ply my trade next because the support and passion from the fans is outstanding and the level ever increasing.
It was nice to get a positive send off from everyone in Hong Kong and the outgoing statement from Kitchee President Mr Ken Ng were very nice as he said: "We are very sorry to see Zesh go but understand the reason why. It is a step he should take, with his future and family in mind. Zesh has contributed to the Kitchee success in the last two years by strengthening our defense. His friendliness with everyone in the team also helped to create a good team spirit. We congratulate him on his new move to Malaysia and wish him every success for the future"
It was also very humbling to read the comments from my new club, Zainal Abidin Hassan ex Malaysian International legend and key figure with in Pahang FA commented: "We are delighted Zesh chose to come to Pahang ahead of several other teams. He brings with him vast experience, leadership and a winning mentality which is exactly what we are looking for. We hope he can use his International and AFC Cup experiences to help us step up a level domestically and regionally. His professionalism and presence will be an asset for our young squad"
