[h=1]Singapore government to monitor impact of Pokemon Go on society[/h]
While Singapore fans of Pokemon Go cannot wait for the game to be launched here, the Government has said that it will monitor the game's impact on society.
The game, which has taken the world by storm, uses augmented reality technology to allow players to "see" virtual Pokemon characters as they view their surroundings through their smartphone cameras.
Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim gave his comments in response to questions yesterday about whether the Government will introduce any guidelines for the game, given that it has caused problems in other countries ranging from criminal trespass to traffic accidents, as players hunt for the characters.

"We have to study very, very carefully whatever is brought into Singapore," he said, stressing that it must not harm lifestyles or the way things have been done here.
Dr Yaacob was speaking to reporters at the National Deaf Games at the Singapore Badminton Hall.



"We will monitor the situation, how this particular game is being played and... its impact on society," he added.

"And if it's really something which we should be concerned about, I think MDA (the Media Development Authority) will definitely decide on what are the things we can do best, if the game is really needed here, how... we can do it in such a way that it becomes a win-win situation."

The popular game, Pokemon GO may be released in Singapore, but its stay here may be a short-lived one. That is according to the Communications and Information Minister, Yaacob Ibrahim. The Straits Times quoted him as saying:
“We have to study very, very carefully whatever that is brought into Singapore. We will monitor the situation, how this particular game is being played and… its impact on society. And if it’s really something which we should be concerned about I think MDA will definitely decide on what are the things we can do best, if the game is really needed here, how… we can do it in such a way that it becomes a win-win situation.”
The Co-founder, CEO and Creative Director of gaming hardware company, Razer Inc, Yan Min-Liang, in a Facebook post however, has claimed that the Government has been hypocritical in wanting to support the gaming industry.
He said: “The government extols how it wants to support the gaming industry and cultivate creativity in the country. Newsflash: No one’s going to be creative in a place where you’re going to arbitrarily ban games because it offends some of your sensitivities because you’re still living in the 19th century.”
The CEO also pointed to the past actions by the Singapore Government against the Gaming community here and said:
“Back in the day, the censorship board arbitrarily banned Counterstrike for “excessive violence” – and banned Mass Effect because a blue skinned alien woman could kiss another woman (homophobic much?). Fortunately both bans were lifted after much outcry from the gamers – but hey, if they weren’t, think about how some of the biggest games in the world would’ve been banned in Singapore.”
