The Liga Perdana () was the top-tier football league in Malaysia that operated from 1994 to 1997. It was established to succeed the Liga Semi-Pro and become the fully professional league. At the time it was interchangeably referred as the Malaysian League. The inaugural season started on 5 April 1994. From 1998, its role was replaced by the Liga Perdana 1.
History In its inaugural season, 16 teams competed in the league. Between 1994 and 1997, there was no second level as the top two leagues were combined. The Liga Perdana was restructured in 1998 (as the Liga Perdana 1 and the Liga Perdana 2). The Liga Perdana 1 consisted of 12 teams, while the Liga Perdana 2 had 8 teams.
