MELAKA, Oct 20 — Social stigma is among the challenges faced by the Melaka government in efforts to develop electronic sports in the state, especially among school students, says State Communications, Multimedia, Non-Governmental Organisations, Youth Development and Sports Committee chairman Kerk Chee Yee.
Therefore, he said the government would team up with E-sports associations and industry players in the state, and hold meetings with those involved to provide more accurate information on the development of E-sports in Melaka. “E-sports is not only played by school students but also adults and children of all ages, and this perception needs to be addressed immediately, so that it can be developed well,” he told reporters after inaugurating the National Sports Month celebration at the Melaka state-level in Bukit Serindit here, today.
