Due to exclusion of Public Bank who was relegated from 2005 Malaysia Super League and MK Land, who were suspended for five years from all competitions due to pulling out of the Malaysian League, the relegations of Melaka and PDRM were revoked and both teams remained in the 2005–06 Malaysia Premier League.
