We Are
ZeTa

I started out as a player, not an organizer. Back in 2022, I competed with a PUBG Mobile squad from Bintulu called Jagong Bau. That year, we entered a tournament held for Hari Sukan Negara and won. It should have been the start of something bigger, but the wins didn't follow. We competed all across Sarawak, in Miri, Sibu, Marudi, and Kuching, chasing that result again, and it never came.

After enough losses, I stepped back from playing and decided to try the other side of esports: organizing it, here in Bintulu.

In April 2022, I enrolled at Kolej Vokasional Bintulu. At first I focused purely on my studies, until the college's prefect board (Ahli Lembaga Pengawas) opened interviews for new members. I was rejected the first time. It didn't discourage me, I proposed running a PUBG Mobile competition inside the college instead, working with the prefect board to make it happen. It went well, and it opened doors. Not long after, I was brought onto the board after all.

Getting onto ALP KV was never really the goal. It was a first step toward something bigger: a seat on Kolej Vokasional Bintulu's Student Representative Council (MPPKV). By 2024, I was a semester 4 Sijil Vokasional student on my way to the Diploma Vokasional Malaysia, and that year I ran for MPPKV and was elected Setiausaha (Secretary) for the 2024/2025 session.

Holding that position wasn't easy, but I stayed anchored to one manifesto promise: found an esports club, and organize esports competitions within the college. I followed through. Kelab Sukan Elektronik ZeTa was officially registered under the Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia (KBS), and it's still standing today as an active tournament organizer across Bintulu, Sarawak.

None of it would have held together without the classmates who carried the club with me at Kolej Vokasional Bintulu, and I owe them my thanks. By March 2026, our class moved into On-the-Job Training and everyone got pulled into their own placements. I had to shift the committee from classmates to outside members willing to keep the work going, though a few of the original team stayed on to help build ZeTa forward.

What I keep coming back to is this: I'm committed to growing Bintulu's esports community, and I don't see esports as just a game, it's one of the clearest ways to pull youth into activity, competition, teamwork, and structure. And to every player out there, I'd say the same thing I try to live by: academics, sport, character, and leadership all have to be balanced together. None of them stand on their own.
