Design of water polo team trunks inappropriate, says MICA
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Information, Communications and the
Arts said the Singapore water polo team did not seek its advice when
they sported swimming trunks bearing elements of the Singapore flag.
It said their design is inappropriate, as elements of the flag must be treated with dignity.
The
water polo team was wearing trunks which feature the crescent moon and
stars from the Singapore flag at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou,
China.
MICA said it has spoken with the Singapore Sports Council and was informed the team is apologetic and had meant no disrespect.
The
Ministry understands that under competition rules, the team may have
difficulty switching to another set of trunks for their match on
Thursday.
Under the Singapore Arms and Flag and National Anthem
Act, no person shall use the flag or any image thereof as or as part of
any costume or attire unless approval is given by the Minister and there
is no "no disrespect" for the flag.
Those found guilty of doing so face a S$1,000 fine.
eh, oni a 1k fine.................
The focus should be on the water polo team in getting medals.
Not about their swimming trunks.
The society is getting paranoid about meaningless stuffs.
