Authorities in Malaysia have seized 164 rainbow-colored Swatch watches that celebrate LGBT pride, the company said on Wednesday.

Officials from the Ministry of Interior Affairs raided Swatch outlets in various malls to confiscate merchandise which bore "LGBT elements," according to one summons notice.

The watches belong to the watchmaker's "Pride collection" which it says promotes equality and diversity.

"We strongly contest that our collection of watches using rainbow colors and having a message of peace and love could be harmful for whomever," Swatch CEO Nick Hayek Jr. said in a statement.

"This is nothing political. We wonder how the Regulatory and Enforcement Division of the Home Ministry will confiscate the many beautiful natural rainbows that are showing up a thousand times a year in the sky of Malaysia," he added.

Swatch's marketing manager in Malaysia, Sarah Kok, said stock of the rainbow watches would be replenished and displayed on-shelf.

Good for Malaysia.

[a spiritual war]

True. Just wait until Satan’s anti-messiah comes and the False Prophet “unites three religions”.

Then the fun (not) really begins...

Luke 21:34-36

Those are God’s sign that He will not destroy the earth again with water. Your use of them to promote perversion aligns you with that pre-flood crowd of reprobates who drowned.

Nice try, but no dice. The word "natural" doesn't fit with your unnatural perversions.

You either nip this insanity in the bud, or it will spread like bad weed.

Kudos to Malaysia.

Singapore is relenting to US pressure but good to see Malaysia holding firm. Don’t let this cancer take root. Once it does there is no going back.
