Malaysia National Basketball League
The Malaysia National Basketball League (Petronas-Molten Malaysia National Basketball League for sponsorship reason), often abbreviated to the MNBL, was the pre-eminent men's basketball league in Malaysia, organised by the Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA). The competition started as Malaysian Basketball League (MBL) in 1981. In 2002, MABA appointed Mr. Tan Kee Hian (simplified Chinese: 陈其贤; traditional Chinese: 陳其賢; pinyin: chén qí xián) to handle the competition and changed the league's name to Malaysia National Basketball League (MNBL).
