PM’s flirtation with gaming world draws scorn

…

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s appearance at a video game tournament on Sunday has drawn scorn from local players of the Dota 2 – one of Malaysia’s most played online game.

Much displeasure was expressed in the comments section of the Facebook and Instagram posts by Team Secret.

Team Secret, a top European Dota 2 team, who were special guests at the tournament and posted a picture of themselves with Najib at the event.

Najib was the guest of honour at the Malaysian Cyber Games (MCG) tournament, which is a Putrajaya-backed event.

The team captioned their photo: “We had the great honour of meeting the Prime Minister of Malaysia today!”

However, this did not fare well with Malaysian Dota fans who launched broadsides against Najib.

Political mileage

Dota 2’s popularity among Malaysian youths is gaining the attention of politicians, who are now seeking to reach out to the demographics through organising cybergame contests.

The Selangor and federal governments organised various tournaments last year.
