Wan Roslan, known for his dedication, constructed these practice lanes using plywood and plastic pipes so his students at SK Nami, Kedah, could hone their bowling skills during breaks.
Touched by his efforts, Minister Yeoh pledged RM20,000 to help him purchase more materials and build additional bowling alleys.
