“After a while, the interest will fizzle out and other new interest will crop in.
“We are dealing with youths’ interest here…and basically, youths’ interest on anything (that) comes and go,” Abdul Karim, who is Asajaya assemblyman said yesterday.
He was asked on his view on the latest craze in town, where public especially the youths are playing the digital game – Pokemon Go and whether the disadvantages outweighed the benefits of playing the game.
Abdul Karim opined that the government, schools, religious authority and parents need not worry too much.
“Just be observant so that children playing Pokemon Go are doing their homework and having their meals,” he advised.
