M'sia gets countries & flags wrong again, misspells Indonesia as "Idonesia"

Will they ever get it right?

Malaysia just can't seem to get it right when it comes to flags.

Just yesterday (Aug. 26), they got their own flag wrong during the broadcast of the Men's 50m Freestyle, which comes after a slew of other embarrassing flag mix-ups.

You'd think they'd quickly sort this out by now, but alas, another incident has been flagged on the internet:

In case you can't see the picture in the Twitter post above, here it is:

This screengrab came from an announcement containing details of the football matches held on Aug. 26.

If you haven't already realised, Indonesia's Flag had been mistaken for Myanmar's flag on the first row:

And that wasn't all. On the second row, Indonesia was weirdly misspelled as "Idonesia."

To be sure, these were correct matches that were scheduled yesterday:

Thailand vs. Myanmar

Malaysia vs. Indonesia

Hiccup after hiccup

As we had mentioned earlier, this sadly isn't the first time they got their flags confused.

It could possibly be a result of streaming an event "live", which obviously wouldn't give them much room to catch and change the mistake in time.

The various issues they had with displaying the correct flags for the respective nations obviously did not go unnoticed and has since angered many, especially Indonesians, so much so that the Malaysian flag was reportedly being burnt in Indonesia.

 

Keep your eyes peeled for more flag mix-ups before the end of the games on Aug. 30.
