5) ish is paul lim?

 

[Kumar22]

number 5 is who, the darts uncle ah

At the time darts was NOT considered a sport so not counted. This guy in 1990 - this was considered a sport and he was declared by the sports press as our first official World champion

But we had 1 in the 1950s too, but this championship was considered the world championship by everyone in the sport at the time

5) ish is paul lim?

Good try but no, see my answer below your reply.

For 5, I believe this event was included in certain SEA Games. But there was a world championship in 1990 in Holland and a local Malay guy won.

In the 1950s.....this champion shares a common theme with our latest
