HY is govt official who is supposed to give all her full moral suppport to the Msian player but instead she praised and became fan of the opponent; wors stil uploaded the photos. This is inappropriate in that circumstances.
It’s not about the photo that is the problem, or the intention to promote peace and friendship, but the word “I’m a new fan” that sparks controversy, an unnecessary comment. What are you trying to achieve? Could’ve just ended with “congratulations, the better team won tonight” Imagine if a Manchester United coach congratulated Liverpool for winning the match, and says “u have a new fan in me”, the United coach would be in deep trouble! Same with badminton in Malaysia I think. It’s a national sport, everyone comes together to watch our heroes fight for the medal, and pressure on our national team is so high to win the gold medal. Yet our leaders say “I am your new fan” to our rival teams, I think it’s insensitive towards the players, and also the fans. I think YB Hannah needs to be more considerate about her comment.
Agreed! Her supporters will still blindly support her as with the case of direct contract in her husband case! She just not fit at all to be a Minister! Just a disgrace!
