A total of RM20 million has been allocated for the development of the e-sports ecosystem under the Budget 2025 and RM10 million from that total amount will be used for constructing a new e-sports stadium. But, is this a step in the right direction for Malaysia's e-sports industry?
In today's episode of Enterprise Explores, we explore how the proposed initiatives in the Budget 2025 support and promote the growth of Malaysia's e-sports industry, what else is the allocated funds going to be used for and whether it addresses the current gaps in the industry at ground-level like talent finding, sponsorships and mentorships, training programs and much more.
We speak with Mohd Syazwan bin Mohd Hanafie, Sports Manager at National Sports Council of Malaysia & Tiffani Lim, Athletes Committee Chairperson at International E-sports Federation (IESF) and also Malaysia's women's e-sports team manager.
