No black or white in rainbow colours FMTNews
The world must have been shocked when news broke that overzealous officials had raided Swatch stores throughout the nation to seize watches suspected of harbouring hidden messages.
Nick Hayek, the CEO of the Swiss-based Swatch Group disputed Anwar’s statement, saying the timepieces that were seized by authorities at 11 Swatch outlets across Malaysia contained no reference to the LGBT community. While East Malaysians have always protected their religious freedom, the Swatch outlet in Suria Sabah which was also raided showed that Peninsular Malaysia sensitivities have reached our shores.
Former tourism minister Mohamaddin Ketapi, who was at the ITB Berlin travel fair in March 2019 said there are no gay people in Malaysia. Due to a backlash in the world media, an official later corrected the minister’s statement by saying that as a main tourism destination in Asia, Malaysia has never done, and will not do, anything to stop our guests based on their sexual orientation, religion and cultural beliefs.
