One of our readers, [T2.W|nDs]Bigboss managed to notice in Berita Harian 26 July 2009 there was an article mentioning that the Ministry of Youth & Sports in Malaysia is willing to study on gaming as a sports activities. We manage to search the story on Berita Harian Online.
Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said that if gaming showed positive aspect such as strategy,intellectual and awareness & reaction speed, it should be included as sports just like snooker or chess.
Though he did mention that gaming has been associated to negative ways of life, but the ministry are willing to get it on if the above criteria fulfilled.

imo, it only seems negative because of its nature. it isnt as commercialized. i dont know how to elaborate lol.
its something like poker, back then. now its such a big competitive thing.
yup i get ur point.
my only concerned is if the ministry is making the right "experiment" on e-sports.
hopefully they will get the right info from the right sources.
yes true. alot has failed due to not fully understanding esports.
