A bowling family in Penang
Ahmad Muaz started bowling in 2002, at around eight years old. His MTBC profile explains why: he always went along to watch his parents bowl. Later he became a regular medallist for his state. MTBC credits him with six Interstate golds and three Sukma golds, plus a World Youth silver.
SEA Games trios and team gold in 2015
His first big senior medals came at the 2015 SEA Games in Singapore. There, Ahmad Muaz, Rafiq Ismail and Timmy Tan won the men's trios with 3,701 pins, beating the hosts by 45. Then the six-man team, which also included Adrian Ang, Alex Liew and Johnathan Chan, won the team of five gold with 6,238.
Asian Games silver and more SEA Games medals
At the 2018 Asian Games in Palembang, the same trio took silver in the men's trios. In fact, his MTBC profile lists that Asian Games silver among his most memorable moments, together with winning the Malaysian Open (year not stated).
A year later, at the 2019 SEA Games in Manila, he won men's team of four gold with Rafiq Ismail, Tun Hakim and Timmy Tan. He also took mixed doubles silver with Siti Safiyah.
World Cup team gold in 2025
In January 2025 he helped Malaysia win the men's team title at the IBF World Cup in Hong Kong. The final against Puerto Rico went to five games. After trailing in the second and fourth, Malaysia won the decider 227-161 for a 3-2 victory. It was Malaysia's first men's team gold at the event.
Ahmad Muaz also took on an off-lane role. MTBC's current council listing shows him as a co-opted councillor, alongside national coach Wendy Chai.
