Activity promotes teamwork and critical thinking but would also negatively impact health of participants, say analysts.Prolonged screen time could cause eye problems and encourage unhealthy eating habits. SUNPIX: In June this year, Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh said her ministry, through the Electronic Sports Development Strategic Plan 2020 to 2025, wants to create a special space for the development of e-sports in schools.
However, Malaysian Medical Association president Dr Azizan Abdul Aziz expressed concern over Yeoh’s suggestion and said introducing e-sports in schools would impact the health of participants in a negative way. Koh added that schools and the Education Ministry should only select games that would develop and instil relevant soft skills similar to co-curriculum activities.“In the e-sports world, there are also different categories of games such as sport, fighting, real-time strategy with single player and team events.
She said some private colleges and universities in the country also grant scholarships to e-sports athletes, whether it is a one-off or as a policy. Azizan said while the potential to develop e-sports in Malaysia is good, it would be inappropriate to introduce it in schools, given its addictive effects.
