Tan Sri Dato’ Sri (Dr.) Mohamad Norza Zakaria, President of OCM and Vice President of OCA, was among the first sport leaders in the country to personally congratulate Dato’ Najeeb when he officiated at the opening ceremony of the 46th National and 35th Interstate Tenpin Bowling Championships at Sunway Mega Lanes on the same day as the MTBC AGM.
“We are confident that, under the capable leadership of Dato’ Najeeb, the MTBC will continue to uphold the legacy of Dato’ Dr. P.S. Nathan with the same passion and determination, ensuring a bright future of Malaysian Bowling,” said Dr. Norza.
“On behalf of the OCM and in my capacity as Vice President of OCA, I want to assure Dato’ Najeeb that we will continue to fully support the MTBC and advocate for the inclusion of tenpin bowling in all major multi-sport games under our jurisdiction.”
