south asia and asia is very different, you'd have to be a bit delusional if u think someone who plays in malaysian second tier is on the same level as someone the top leagues in asia... Japan, Korea, China, Saudi Arabia and Iran are all in Asia. sure he's turned down european offers, those offers where for him to play for their C team or even academy teams
