A passing of a remarkable contributor of bowling

23rd September, Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Congress are deeply saddened to announce the passing of their former president and past president of World Tenpin Bowling Association (WTBA), Dato Dr. PS Nathan aged 90, earlier last evening (22nd September).

Dato Dr. Nathan was a remarkable leader, mentor, and a guiding force in the bowling community. His visionary leadership not only elevated Malaysian bowling to a world-class standard but also inspired countless individuals who had the privilege of learning from him.

His contributions to the sport, both locally and globally, are immeasurable, and his loss is a profound one for the entire bowling fraternity. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Dato Dr. Nathan's legacy will forever remain in the hearts of those he touched and in the continued success of Malaysian bowling.

Dato's family will make a public announcement soon.
