MH Crew Led the Malaysian Contingent at Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

[Izhar Z 1]

According to KJ the uniforms are worn by the athletes. No wonder the coats look oversized. Still a surreal moment seing our flag at half mast & MH uniforms lead the contingent.

GO Malaysia. In pain, but still - life goes on and i'm sure our athletes will do us proud!

Hope to see the MH crew contingent for the Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia at Dataran Merdeka.

Those who watched the opening ceremony will always have MH17 in their mind when they book air tickets.

It was a nice gesture. Could be a PR nightmare but a good gesture nonetheless. Might give a little morale boost to our athletes and MAS crews themselves.

it best shows that we stood up for our national pride in thick and thin and those who lost in this terrible disaster are our national heroes same like our athletes

It was all good until a certain athlete decided to wear gloves bearing some statement and got admonished, albeit with good intentions, it still went against the sporting spirit. I'd say that kinda negated the uniform display at the opening a little bit.

For certain he has limited his sponsorship.

I don't care if it will get some attention to increase the awareness of the ordeal. It happened in the past and certainly people will remember the athletes for the courage. Most of the athletes are aware of the repercussion. For example, Cathy Freeman waving both Aboriginal and Australian flags during 1994 Commonwealth Games. Until today, people remember it and champion her for it.

It should be the cabin crew that made the news but we blew it out of proportion.

 

Malaysian politician and religious leaders: It is disrespectful to use the Scottish Terrier to lead the contingent in the opening ceremony because we are a Muslim country.

The Scottish in general: It is disrespectful for Malaysia to say such a thing to our national heritage, culture and most beloved animal. The breed is called Scottish Terrier and you are in Scotland.

Muslims in Scotland: Is it an issue?

Bangladesh & Pakistan: We have more Muslims than any of Malaysia combined but we have no issues.

 

Alas, it is all about freedom of speech and how tolerant we are towards each other.

 

Personally I don't think it is an issue at all because we do have dogs living in Malaysia.

This is a result of mixing religion with politic.

Bloody orangutans should stop opening their mouths and embarrassing our country in the eyes of the world. So bloody stupid.

[V Wong 0]

They will throw in anything for a 1 minute international 'fame'. Talking orangutan no less.

[Johan Z 0]

Embarrassing.

[Waiping 12]

Orangutans are facing extinction. Stop insulting them!

I am sure the organizing committee has checked and rechecked for any clashes in culture when they plan for the event. And all the respected sources has confirmed that it is of no issues.

Only in Malaysia you pay pistachios instead of ordinary peanuts and get monkeys. Spewing bullsh1t like that is like having some foreign dude spitting nasi lemak on your face saying it's sh1tty cr@p.

It's free speech.. It was personal opinion of Mat Sabu and Ibrahim Ali..They are also entitled to speak their mind..

 

For me it's not an issue.. Though they do have a point, just like we don't serve beef to Hindus and whales to Australians..

I concur. Not many people look it that way. Malaysians are Malaysians, regardless of their beliefs and political views. They like to make a mountain out of a molehill.

While we may respect their rights to free speech, the very same people will not respect ours. If you say something that they do not agree with, you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be the first to jump on you!
