Bigotry will affect our sports


I HAD expected that all Malaysians would be happy with the success of our athletes at the ongoing SEA Games in Singapore until I read the criticisms about the attire of Farah Ann Abdul Hadi, our national gymnast who won two gold, one silver and two bronze medals.

I am extremely shocked that some Malaysians were more preoccupied with watching her body and berating her for “exposing” herself rather than watching her good gymnastic act and applaud her for her fruitful efforts.
