Amateur Bowling Association of Sarawak (ABAS) wishes to invite all members of the Asian Bowling Federation to participate in the Inaugural Sarawak International Open Bowling Championships 2017, scheduled to take place at the 40 AMF Synthetic lanes, Megalanes EMart at Batu Kawah, in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia from September 6 to 9, 2017.

Described as one of the most attractive cities in Southeast Asia, Kuching is the State capital. It is a city rich in history, and modern day Kuching is a delightful blend of modern structures and old-world charm.

Kuching is divided by the Sarawak River; the south is a commercial residential area, dominated by Chinese, while the north shore is predominantly Malay in character, with old kampong houses lining the river. The two parts of the city are very different in character and even have separate mayors and separate town halls.

Kuching is known to be the highest populated city in the entire Sarawak in Malaysia. While the Bruneian Empire was in administration, Kuching was the third capital. Only after Kuching was handed over to James Brooke, it became the capital of Sarawak.
