"They believed we'd be worried when we played against the US, but they were terrified when Salleh scored the first goal." "We took advantage of the situation, and with Choon Wah's passing, I scored the third goal."

Wan Zawawi initially donned the national shirt when he was picked for the 1969 Asian Youth Championship, and he made his senior squad debut the following year at the Bangkok Asian Games.
