His last tournament with Malaysia was the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup, where he was team captain. Malaysia reached the finals but lost to Thailand 3–4 on aggregate.

Just before the final match of the 2021 Malaysia Cup, Shukor announced his retirement as a player. It became a sweet send-off as his team, KL City FC won the Cup for the first time since 1989. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours as he begins a new career in coaching.
