Muhamad Khalid Jamlus (born on February 23, 1977) is a Malaysian footballer who is a striker for Perak FA. He is a former member of the Malaysian national team and also has played for the Pre-Olympic squad. In 2002, he went on trial with Eintracht Frankfurt.[1]

During his first stint with Perak FA, he was a crowd favourite. However, doubts about his work-rate persisted all throughout his stint with the Seladang. In December 2004, he signed for Selangor FA.

After spending two seasons for the Red Giants, he returned to Perak FA in time for the 2006 season. He forged a lethal partnership with Guinean Keita Mandjou, scoring 15 of the 36 goals that were scored between them. His efforts led him to become a front-runner for the Favourite Striker Award.[2]

Mandjou left at the start of the 2008 season, leaving Khalid to build a new partnership with Chilean Carlos Caceres. He has been in sensational form thus far this season, scoring 7 goals in 6 starts. On January 13, 2008, he picked up his second red card in 7 matches.

Despite being a maligned figure whenever he is on the pitch, he nonetheless remains one of the more recognizable faces in Malaysian football.
