2010 Kallang slashing, Execution of Micheal Anak Garing, Clemency plea failed: the death of Micheal Garing
Back in Malaysia, Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) condemned the city-state's hanging of Micheal. They said that the death penalty does not and will not provide justice. They said that Micheal's execution will not deter any similar offences in the future or undo his criminal acts, and called for both Singapore and Malaysia to abolish the death penalty. They said the death penalty merely endorses and repeat the violence and senseless loss of life inflicted by the accused through his crime and legitimise violence. On the day of Micheal's execution, Suaram released a statement, stating that Malaysia must learn from Singapore's example to ensure Malaysia's total abolition of the death penalty, and not legitimising violence and murder through the criminal justice system. Suaram also reportedly offered condolences to Micheal's surviving family members and relatives.

The club decided to travel to Arizona for preseason training after opening camp in cold Kansas City. As promised by the front office in the off season the club brought in a large number of trialist and draft picks to fight for the limited squad positions. Much of the preseason banter surrounded the departure of popular Latin Striker Claudio Lopez and the contract status of fan favorite goalkeeper Kevin Hartman.


2010 Kansas City Wizards season, Review, Preseason
Hartman's situation was used as an example against the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players' union however Hartman was replaced by Danish Jimmy Nielsen which was a questionable move with limited Senior International spots available. In addition to all the player movement the Wizards found themselves winners in a weighted allocation lottery for the services of US Youth player 16-year-old Luis Gil. Despite "winning" the lottery speculation was that the league had agreed the youngster would be placed somewhere on the west coast and he was quickly traded to Real Salt Lake for a second round draft pick, future transfer consideration, and a Senior International roster spot.

Despite being an official "sell-out", the weather kept a large number of fans from seeing new goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen make his uneventful debut.

Nielsen was tested only the one time by the all-time league-leading goal scorer Jaime Moreno but the Danish keeper nicknamed "White Puma" responded properly and kept his sheet clean. The second half opened just like the first and Smith got his first goal of the season, easily passing another sloppy rebound into an open net, this time in front of The Cauldron. 15 minutes later Smith's corner intended for Kamara found instead the hand of a defender and referee Kevin Stott pointed to the spot; Jack Jewsbury (late entry to starting eleven) made the best of the situation and gave the home squad a 4-goal lead.

Young Colombian standout Freddy Montero was denied on the doorstep by the strong right hand of Jimmy Nielsen which marked the end of the Seattle pressure and ushered in Kansas City's possession for the remainder of the first half.

Both clubs had trouble holding the ball and at times it looked more like a tennis match but Kansas City did have the better of chances despite the match ending in a scoreless draw.
