Universiti Kuala Lumpur Business School (UniKL BIS) elevated inclusivity in sports through a recent friendly tournament with the Malaysia Paralympic Bowling team.
Held on 13 September 2025, the Jalinan Mesra UniKL BIS x Paralimpik Malaysia event featured a unique trio team concept, fostering teamwork and inclusivity among participants.
“Some participants were medalists from the second ASEAN Para Games in Tenpin Bowling, which added prestige to the event.
“A total of 12 winners were announced across four categories: OKU Standing, OKU Wheelchair, UBIS Individual, and Team.
“Impressively, every participant received a medal, including participation medals, making the event both competitive and celebratory,” said programme director Noor Sofea Mazlan Zabha.
The semester-five Bachelor’s in Accounting student added that not all Paralympic athletes were born with disabilities.
“Some only became disabled within the last 5 to 10 years due to accidents, yet they continue to prove that they can live life as fully as anyone else,” she shared.
This collaboration, she explained, was a high-impact initiative aimed at fostering inclusion and support for all, regardless of differences or disabilities.
It also marked UniKL BIS as the first to organise a university social responsibility (USR) programme in partnership with the Malaysia Paralympic Tenpin Bowling team.
“We always bowl at Alam Lanes, Endah Parade, which is well known for being accessible and accommodating to Paralympic athletes, especially wheelchair users.
“One day, we thought, why not create greater value by collaborating with the Beast Bowling Club and offering new hope for inclusivity in society?” she further noted.
