Editing Junaidi Khalil (section)

== Early refereeing career ==

=== Development of Malaysian tournament paintball ===

Junaidi Khalil became involved in competitive paintball officiating during the early development of organised tournament paintball in Malaysia.

A historical account published by Malaysian paintball operator Roslim Abu in September 2009 identified Khalil as an organiser of the October 2004 Ampang Super 5 tournament, alongside Delta Paintball.[1]

The same account described him as the leader of an early internationally recognised Malaysian paintball refereeing team.

It also credited Khalil as the first Malaysian to referee in the European [[Millennium Series]].

These historical claims were published by a participant in the Malaysian paintball industry. The exact dates and events associated with Khalil's Millennium Series officiating have not been independently established.

=== International officiating ===

By 2007, Khalil was officiating international paintball competitions.

A May 2009 Singapore Paintball Novice Series report described him as having refereeing experience at Paintball World Cup Asia from 2007 and the 2008 Asia Paintball Invitational Tournament in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.[2]

The report identified him as a leading Asian paintball referee.

His involvement in these events preceded his later work in formal referee training programmes in Singapore.
