Committee

It was at the Royal Lake Club, Kuala Lumpur that a group of local squash enthusiasts got together and first discussed the formation of a National Squash Association. Thus, was born the Squash Racquets Association of Malaysia (SRAM). It was formed on 25 June 1972. The founding President was the late Dato’ Hisham Albakri who served with distinction from 1972 to 1977. The founding Honorary Secretary was Y.A.M. Tunku Tan Sri Imran Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar.
 
Tunku Tan Sri Imran, who became the first National Champion in 1973 when he beat Dato’ Dr Hood Salleh in the finals, succeeded Dato’ Hisham Albakri as President of SRAM.
 
Tunku Imran’s successor was the late Tan Sri Alex Lee, under whose astute guidance we achieved the incredible double world junior titles: the World Junior Men’s title won by Ong Beng Hee in Princeton, USA in 1998; and the World Junior Women’s title won by Nicol David in Antwerp, Belgium in 1999.
 
In its 46-year history, eight different presidents have helmed SRAM. SRAM has evidently grown to become one of the leading national sports associations in Malaysia and produced several leading players in world squash, notably eight-time world champion Dato’ Nicol David, and former world top-10 players in Ong Beng Hee and Mohd Azlan Iskandar.

2020 - Current

"Squash.... My Passion.... My Mission."

Gerard took over the reins in Sep 2020. Former National players Azlan Iskandar, Sharon Wee and Randy Chitty joined the team. Unfortunately, due to Covid 19, not many tournaments were held in Malaysia or abroad. However, the committee is aggressively pursuing the goal of making SRAM, a more visible and dynamic entity. Meanwhile the players are slowly coming back to full-on training and the next major goal is the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and the Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2021.

    Administration

    SRAM first started operating on a ‘voluntary basis’. Some of the key administrators who have selflessly contributed to the growth of SRAM in the early years include Prasad Pillai, Chris Foo, K.Sivanesen, Leslie Ponnampalam, Lt.Kol (R) Wong Ah Jit, and Peter Chee.

    Eventually, as SRAM grew to become one of the most prominent association in the country, the need for full-time paid administrators became evident. Today, SRAM has six full-time staff on its payroll.

    State Affiliates

    13 states and 2 Federal Territories, Kuala Lumpur & Putrajaya are affiliated branches of SRAM. State affiliates play a huge role in the development of squash in the country, especially at the grassroot levels and serve as a launching pad for players to move up to the National Squash Centre, at Bukit Jalil.
