  "account": "Former Malaysian national ten-pin bowling player Shirley Chow passed away in Ipoh, Perak, at the age of 76 after battling lung cancer. The Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Council (MTBC) confirmed her demise early today, acknowledging her loss as a great one to the bowling community. \"Chow was a respected figure in Malaysian bowling, having contributed to the sport as both an athlete and coach,\" the MTBC stated in an Instagram post. In the 1989 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, Chow won a silver medal in the women's team event alongside Pearly Chong, and a team silver in the triple event with Chong and Lily Chua. In 1991 in Manila, she secured a silver medal in the individual event and a gold in the team event alongside Lisa Kwan. In 1993 in Singapore, Chow claimed a gold in the triple event with Shalin Zulkifli and Kwan, a gold in the open event, and a silver in the individual event. Chow triumphed in the women's triple event at the 1994 Asia Games in Hiroshima, Japan, with Lydia Kwah and Shalin, and a silver in the team event with Kwah. After retiring as an athlete, she served as a coach for Perak. In October of last year, the MTBC presented Chow with a RM5,000 cash reward, as promised when she was named National Athlete in 1979.",
