He was heavily criticized for being inept and too inexperienced on the international stage to manage the Malaysian national soccer team. The Malaysian team was defeated 5-1 against China and 5-0 against Uzbekistan in the 2007 Asian Cup. The result led to a mass resignation of the upper echelons of Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) including the Crown Prince of the Pahang State Tengku Abdullah and the Son-In-Law of the Prime Minister of Malaysia Khairy Jamaluddin. Since then, Bakar became the manager for Kelantan FA.Due of family problems,Norizan resigned from being Kelantan FA's coach.
