Some Singaporean 'haters' slam tech company for investing in Malaysian eSports


PETALING JAYA: After a Singaporean boss of a tech company committed to investing RM10mil in Malaysia's eSports in 2019, he was slammed for "not doing anything" for Singapore.

Razer CEO Tan Min Liang (pic) pointed out that he received a slew of messages that the gaming hardware company had left Singapore behind, compelling him to list out his commitment to the island republic.

"We are probably one of the biggest supporters of eSports in Singapore - just this year alone we sponsored Hyperplay, the SEA Majors and PVP.

"We have been supporting Singaporean eSports athletes like Xian for years and are always looking to support more who are committed to Razer like Xian," he wrote on his Facebook post.

Tan called on his "haters" to celebrate the growth of eSports in the region, instead of being abusive.

Tan had responded to a tweet by Sports and Youth Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, who called on industry players to invest in Malaysia. The tweet was posted after Budget 2019 was read in Parliament.
