The club managed to keep up in the league as they finished their debut in the Malaysia's top flight at the seventh position. 2009 was unfortunate for the club, the team failed to keep their in the Malaysia Super League as they ended the league at the last spot and was relegated to Malaysia Premier League.
In 2014, the club named Malaysian football legend, Dollah Salleh as their head coach and brought quality foreign and local players to strengthen the squad and made their target to win the Malaysia Premier League once again that year.[5] With much hard work and dedication, PDRM managed to finish at the top of the table and promoted to the Malaysia Super League as the champions of 2014 Malaysia Premier League.[6] Though, Dollah Salleh left the club as Football Association of Malaysia decided to appoint him as the head coach of Malaysia national team and Azman Adnan, who had been the assistant for him during the time took his place.[7] Ali Ashfaq from Maldives, who played a vital on PDRM's road to Super league won the Best Foreign Player Award in Malaysia national football awards in 2014.
The club camped at Hong Kong in late December 2014 and also participated and won the 2015 People of Maldives Invitational Cup held in Maldives in January 2015.[8]

However, with several problems came up from the squad, they finished the league at the 6th position in the first year after promotion in 2014. The Malian striker, Dramane Traore had been the main man scoring the goals for the club in 2015 season.

PDRM sees themselves qualified back to the 2023 Malaysia Super League after finishing 6th place in the 2nd tier of the 2022 Malaysia Premier League.
