Malaysia has neither objection nor restriction for the free mobile game application Pokemon GO to be released in the country, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak.

“Even though some countries may restrict it, but we in Malaysia... we have not reached that stage,” he told the media at the Communications and Multimedia Ministry’s Aidilfitri function in Putrajaya today.

Pokemon GO, developed by Niantic Incorporation of Nintendo USA, has set a new wave of augmented reality games in the history of smartphone applications.
