We at SCA are deeply saddened by the loss of Dato Dr Harjit Singh. Dr Harjit was instrumental in the growth of cricket in the region as the President of Johor Cricket Council, since 1987 till the present day and the Deputy President of Malaysian Cricket Association from 1990 to 2003. He was also the founder of the first Cricket programme in primary school not only in Johor State, but also in Malaysia in 1987.

He was instrumental in his support to the SCA during SEA Games and also during 2017-2018 preparations of the Singapore National Men’s Squad by hosting the team at the Johor Cricket Association Ground and facility. We are grateful for his support over the years!

May God give strength to his family and friends to bear this loss. May he rest in peace.
