Dear Malaysians, it has been my unwavering endeavour to create lasting value for my fellow country men and women. Six years ago, my good friend, Dato’ Latt Shariman and I founded Esports Malaysia, with great hopes of making esports history for Malaysia. Since then we have nurtured some outstanding talent and forged many brilliant partnerships. Validation of the vision and the collective effort of the MESF team was Malaysia’s results at the SEA Games in 2019. We have come a long way and have established Malaysia as a pioneering country in the ever evolving esports ecosystem. There is still much to do.

The world is moving swiftly without borders - MESF can help create identity, unity and strength through technology during this inspiring era. Esports are fundamentally inclusive and I aspire for everyone to join us making this incredible community stronger to benefit, not only ourselves, but Malaysia globally. MESF are dedicated and focused to promote esports in Malaysia so we can become the world’s foremost esport nation.
