He passed away at 10.20am on Monday at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM in Cheras, after battling cancer since last month.He is survived by his wife Pathma and 14-year-old daughter, Bhakialakshmi.
Ramayah was Malaysia’s No. 1 golfer and a name to be reckoned with in the region between 1976 and 1997. He has played in 13 World Cups and is one of a few local golfers who has played with Tiger Woods, playing in the same flight as the American when Malaysia hosted the 1999 edition.
