We need to do better. M’sian Authorities Conduct Raids & Seizures At Local Swatch Stores Over New Pride Collection
The conflict between opposing viewpoints on LGBT+ rights and freedom of expression has been made clear by the controversy surroundingin Malaysia. According to PAS, a well-known Islamic party, the band’s advocacy for the LGBT+ population creates a culture that is in opposition to religious and cultural norms. Their request for the event to be cancelled reveals a sincere worry about the possible erosion of conventional ideas and values.
The watches, adorned with rainbow colours symbolising inclusivity and acceptance, were subsequently targeted by the authorities. In a move that aroused concerns about the boundaries of cultural sensitivities and freedom of expression in Malaysia, the Ministry of Home Affairs carried out raids on numerous outlets and seized the Pride Collection watches.
Nick Hayek Jr., the CEO of Swatch, expressed surprise and dismay in response to the seizures. Hayek emphasised that Swatch has always valued innovation and diversity, using their timepieces as a canvas for individuals from all walks of life. He disputed the idea that a collection honouring love and peace could be seen as negative, claiming that Swatch’s inspiring messages are in line with the joy of life.
