Flashermac Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 GUANGZHOU, China - The skimpy trunks sported by Singapore's men's water polo team at the Asian Games are causing red faces back home in the conservative city-state, with many embarrassed by their design. The trunks display the Singaporean flag's white crescent moon on the front of the red briefs in what has been described as an inappropriate fashion. The design - lambasted by readers of Singapore's Straits Times newspaper as "disgusting," "nauseating" and "disgraceful" among other terms - had not been approved by the country's Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts (Mica), which governs the use of the flag. "We would have told them that their design is inappropriate, as we want elements of the flag to be treated with dignity," Singapore media quoted a Mica marketing official as saying.
