On 4th November 2022, Malakoff Corporation Berhad (“Malakoff”) had organised a friendly bowling tournament with Badan Kawalselia Air Negeri Johor (“BAKAJ”), Department of Environment (“DOE”) Johor and Department of Occupational Safety & Health (“DOSH”) at Pelangi Leisure Mall in Johor. The event was part Malakoff’s continuous engagement with the local authorities to further enhance its working relationship.

The event was attended by 80 participants and officiated by Tanjung Bin Power Plant (“TBPP”) Manager, Encik Kopli bin Yunus. All participants were divided into groups and were assigned with their respective lanes. Upon making the first throw which indicated the start of the tournament, participants’ boosted spirit and morale were already evidently visible with cheers and chants being thrown from various teams in show of support to their own team members.

As the first round is usually considered as the warm-up round, many teams were later seen gathering thoughts and strategies before heading into the second round. Suggestions and advice from the more experienced participants were shared among team members to ensure higher points would be collected and reflected on the score screen. After a gruelling 2-round tournament with plenty of surprises and anticipation, Team 9, consisting of Ku Fitrie, Shukril, Amir & Shafei from DOE Johor emerged victorious with 966 points collected. This was followed by Team 5 (BAKAJ team) and Team 3 (DOSH team) with 927 and 917 points collected respectively.

For the individual categories, Humairah Mahpoz from Malakoff rose as the Female champion with 254 points while Muhammad Nur Iqbal bin Khalid from Malakoff took the crown as the Male champion with 404 points.

With engaging and fun activities such as this with its key stakeholders, Malakoff aims to further cultivate the spirit of ‘silaturrahim’ while simultaneously enhancing its working relationship towards fulfilling shared goals and objectives. We would like to thank everyone involved for the camaraderie and a great display of sportsmanship, and we hope to see you again in next year’s edition.
