PETALING JAYA:
Najeeb Abdullah has been officially elected as the Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Congress (MTBC) president, the first change in presidency in 50 years, after he won uncontested during the annual general meeting here today.

Speaking after the election, Najeeb said his greatest challenge would be to raise the performance of the national squad.

“We have several things planned and we are convinced we can nurture more world-class athletes,” he said.

Former MTBC president Dr PS Nathan, who was also the founder, relinquished his post in May after 50 years in office. He died aged 90 on Sept 22.

The remaining members of the leadership team were all retained unopposed, with Amateur Bowling Association of Sarawak president Sunny Si elected as deputy president.

The five vice-presidents are national bowling legend Shalin Zulkifli (central south), Hidzir Ahmad (north), Mazlan Said (central south), Zamzuriadi Shamsuddin (east) and Rozainny Sham Talip (East Malaysia).

Choo Yew Kuen is honorary treasurer and Maradona Chok is secretary.
