On 27 October 2023, Malakoff Corporation Berhad (“Malakoff”) held its annual friendly bowling tournament with the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources ("NRECC") at Wangsa Bowl, IOI City Mall in Putrajaya. Aimed at promoting ‘silaturrahim’ between Malakoff and its stakeholders, the event saw the attendance of the Deputy Secretary General of NRECC Yang Berbahagia (“YBhg.”) Dato’ Mohamad Razif bin Haji Abd Mubin and Malakoff’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (“MD/CEO”) Encik Anwar Syahrin bin Abdul Ajib.

All 60 participants from both companies gathered in the bowling arena to mingle before the tournament kicked-off. YBhg. Dato’ Mohamad Razif proceeded to make the first throw, signifying the start of this highly anticipated tournament. Following a two-round structure, participants seemed very enthusiastic in showcasing their competitive spirit by constantly gauging their opponents’ scores and strengths, even in the first round.

As momentum was building up, the excitement overspilled into the second round where loud cheers and encouragement could be heard by not only the participants, but also the spectators. After two hours of friendly competition, Group 9 comprising Dr. Amran Alias and Dr. Mohamad Hamzi Abdul Azziz from NRECC and, Mazuin Ima Salamat and Muhamad Sharfiz Shafie from Malakoff, emerged as champion for the Group category while Muhamad Sharfiz Shafie and Mazuin Ima Salamat were announced as the winner for the Men and Women category respectively. Subsequently, the event continued with a prize giving ceremony by YBhg. Dato’ Mohamad Razif and Encik Anwar Syahrin to all winners followed by a photo session.

This initiative is a part of Malakoff's ongoing engagement with its major stakeholders through initiatives that can strengthen our partnership and further the spirit of ‘silaturrahim’ as we work to achieve our common goals and objectives. Additionally, it corresponds with our commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 17, which encourages stronger partnerships to support sustainable development and environmental protection.

We would like to thank everyone for their amazing display of sportsmanship, and we hope to see you again next time.
