COMMENT | Malaysia’s, or should that be “Malaya’s”, Olympic outfits have courted controversy for lacking “diversity”.
Political operatives and pundits have weighed in decrying the lack of diversity when it comes to showcasing the diverse cultures that exist in Malaysia, which is somehow supposed to be crammed into an outfit for the Olympics.
To be honest I am a little puzzled by this outfit. Local fashion house Rizman Ruzaini made history as the first local designers to have a creation of theirs featured in the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London.
Apparently, their creation is now part of an exhibition celebrating the career of supermodel Naomi Campbell.
