Roblox Corp. pledged to boost safety measures and is prepared to share data with the Malaysian government, according to a minister, as officials weigh action over the popular video game after it was allegedly linked to a stabbing case in the Southeast Asian nation.

Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh said she met with representatives of Roblox amid concern over the impact that some online games have on children’s behavior and emotions. Roblox has more than one million users in Malaysia alone, she said.
