Boo to water polo boys’ swimming trunks?



Recently the swimming trunks with Singapore flag on it which was worn by our Singapore's water polo boys at the Asian Games was complained by public for disrespectful.

Some comment on STOMP by Edwald01:
"I used to be proud of them ( Our National polo team ) but now I was shamed by them. Doesn't the designer knows the importance of a national flag ? Why would ppl die for the flag in war ? Cos it represents not only your country or your personality and dignity as well. To place it at your groin area, it is jus like placing your forefathers pics at the groin area ? Conservative ? Think again ... Creative over our dignity ? Does it mean you will forgo your pride as a Singaporean over creativity ? For me, though I dun like some policies but I would lay my life for our national flag lightly."

The design of the swimming trunks has been ruled 'inappropriate' by the government. The team did not seek official advice or approval for the design.

The team, however, will still get to wear the trunks for at least one more match, as competition rules require the players to wear one colour of trunks throughout the competition.

So you think the trunk design is that bad???

    I love the design of the trunks and there is no implication related to the flag being on the groin area. Perhaps the penis is the fountain of life and therefore this is an excellent place for the flag - on the pole :-)

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

 1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end.  2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend. Though vigorous, I felt that they were all enjoyable with the class of 2022 around. 3) Are there any nervous moments and stress factors during the competition and how did you deal with it? Yes definitely, Im always nervous whenever there is a Q&A segment as im afraid I’ll freeze up on stage or not be able to give a satisfactory answer. I guess how I dealt with it was to just let down my shoulders and enjoy the moment. Being relaxed and just being myself because that’s what people want to see! 4...
