Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan has waded in on the backlash surrounding the appearance of Syed Abdullah, the older brother of Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, at an official eSports event in Shah Alam, Selangor, last weekend.
Tan tweeted that he felt it was “plain stupid” for some quarters to make an issue over Syed Abdullah getting a front row seat at the Malaysia eSports Selection for SEA Games 2019 organised by eSports Malaysia (ESM).
He was photographed sitting alongside ESM Datuk Ananth S. Nathan and presidents of eSports organisations from other states like Sarawak and Negeri Sembilan.
Tan also tweeted that if Syed Abdullah were to attend a Razer event, he would be invited to be at the front, as he is a big fan of eSports and Razer.
