CNA has apologised for broadcasting a SEA Games medal tally table that mismatched nine out of 11 countries names and flags.

The two countries that were correctly matched were Myanmar and Timor Leste.

CNA said the table was broadcast on the Asia First segment at around 7:50am on May 12 morning.

The table was shown for less than half a minute and then corrected for subsequent updates.

CNA also apologised on-air.

CNA added: "The names of the countries participating in the SEA Games and their respective national flags were mismatched. The error was on air for about 25 seconds."

"This error was corrected for subsequent SEA Games updates during Asia First, which included an on-air apology. We deeply regret this happened. It falls short of the professional standards that we expect of ourselves and we extend a sincere apology to our viewers. We will strive to do better."
