Myanmar and Indonesia's flags were held upside down during a performance at the opening ceremony of the Cambodia SEA Games.
Town Production, a Cambodian broadcasting and media production company, said in a statement on Saturday that it deeply regrets the “disrespectful mistake” and that it “involves an oversight from our part for mistakenly reversing the flags”.
The production company also said that it will send an official apology letter to the embassies of the three countries. A Facebook user commented on the official Cambodia SEA Games page: “As an Indonesian, I really enjoy the performances that Cambodia has prepared, everything is beautiful, your culture and the dance styles are beautiful but when I saw my country’s flag upside down I was very disappointed, an event of this magnitude but how could such a thing happen?
