On Oct 25, a 15-year-old student named Razz created an online video game server called "Dataran Mas" using the Roblox platform, employing an innovative technique.

"Their creativity is extraordinary and it has impacted the world. It's the best," X user @SeriMalaysia3562 said.
User @Acap-ip9mm noted that the video game platform effectively delivered a message to people worldwide and expressed being moved by the commitment of young Malaysians in raising the issue of Palestine.
"Unknowingly, tears flowed. Al-Fatihah for my brothers and sisters there," he wrote.
User @Saefaree3337 pointed out that even though the government may not allow children to participate in protests against Israel, they are still showing solidarity with the people of Gaza through the use of available technology.
"If other countries are unwilling to start, let our children begin their solidarity with Palestine through the Roblox game," Saefaree3337 stressed.
