SEPANG (Bernama): Online games, including PlayerUnknown's Battleground (PUBG), should not be linked to elements of violence as what happened in Christchurch, New Zealand on Friday, says Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.

“Believe me, whether or not there are (online) games (with elements of shooting), if people (suspects) already have extremist views...they will commit violence,” he told reporters after Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad launched the Asia GT Festival at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) here today (March 17).
