MY: Dedicated to a Fallen Comrade

On behalf of all national carrom players, we would like to extend our condolences to the family of the late Puan Jamilah Ibrahim who passed away on the 1st of May 2017. Personally it was a shock to me as we met not too long ago as we were preparing for the championship. We've personally known each other for more 10 years as she's been representing the state of Penang for the MAKSAK (for civil servants comprising of darts, chess & carrom) games.

She also represented Team Malaysia for international events. Beginning 2011 when ICF Cup was hosted by Malaysia, followed by the World Championships in Colombo Sri Lanka in 2012 and finally in 2016 World Championships in Birmingham, United Kingdom. I still remember the dedication she put in to come all the way from Penang to Kuala Lumpur for centralized training before we left for UK.

Thank you for your friendship, dedication and contribution towards the game that we all love - CARROM. You'll be missed! RIP!
