Malaysia's government said Thursday that anyone buying or selling LGBTQ-themed Swatch watches could face prison terms of up to three years, as authorities pledged to stop the sale of Swatch products with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer elements that "may harm the morality" of the country.

Rainbow-colored watches made by the Swiss watchmaker have been prohibited in the Muslim-majority country for "promoting, supporting, and normalizing the LGBTQ+ movement that is not accepted by the general public in Malaysia," according to a post on the Malaysian Interior Ministry's official Facebook page.

Malaysia’s government is not incorrect here.

As long as they have 7 colors instead of 6.

Best advice for the sexually controversial: don’t flaunt it.

Is it any wonder that people around the world hate us? This is what the leftists and neoCONs are exporting around the world. Not freedom, or Christianity. They are exporting faggotry. I would hate us too.

(wow, even Swatch has gone gay)

Frankly, I’m not surprised.

It wouldn’t have surprised me even in the 1980s.

Swatch - 1983

It may be cynical and opportunistic on their part, but I can’t blame the Russians for wanting to take advantage of this.

No, but we can withhold aid or send billions to the Malaysian “diverse party” that the CIA is busy setting up now.

Like barking seals, toss them a fish story and they bark.

If the anti-queer places are so good, why is it that no one goes there?

Today Russia is anti-queer and at the same time 20% of Russian prisoners have AIDS.

Homosexuality is sinful, but the ability to speak, broadcast, print one’s views freely (to include advocating for sin) is an inherent God-given right. Government has no authority to infringe on that right.

Malaysia doesn’t get a pass just because they infringe viewpoints we find repugnant.

The economy of Malaysia is the fifth largest in Southeast Asia and the 38th largest in the world in terms of GDP.[25] The 2018 labour productivity of Malaysia was measured at Int$55,360 per worker, the third highest in ASEAN.[26] The 2021 Global Competitiveness Report ranked Malaysian economy the 25th most competitive country economy in the world.[27]

Malaysians enjoy a relatively affluent lifestyle compared to many of its neighbours in Southeast Asia. This is due to a fast-growing export-oriented economy, a relatively low national income tax, highly affordable local food and transport fuel, as well as a fully subsidized single-payer public healthcare system. Malaysia has a newly industrialised market economy, which is relatively open and state-oriented.[28][29] The Malaysian economy is highly robust and diversified with the export value of high-tech products in 2020 standing at US$92.1 billion, the second highest in ASEAN.[30] Malaysia exports the second largest volume and value of palm oil products globally, after Indonesia.[31]
