Before the 2006 season began, Wing Hoong, along with his team mate K Nanthakumar, left Perak following a salary dispute with team management[2] Both Wing Hoong and Nanthakumar then joined Selangor MPPJ, which was then dubbed the 'Chelsea' of Malaysia and reformed their defensive partnership there.

By this time, a new management team had taken over and were practicing a policy of recruiting Perak born players.[3]
