A few days back, it was reported that national track cyclist Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom had been relegated by the 2024 Paris Olympics, resulting in a
6th-place finish, after Japanese rider Shinji Nakano had collided with him on the track. This led to Malaysians attacking the Japanese rider’s social media pages.
“I thought Malaysians were nice!” According to a report by Berita Harian, Shah Firdaus shared how Shinji had messaged him saying that he thought Malaysians were nice, leading Shah Firdaus to feel embarrassed and guilty by the actions of Malaysian cyber troopers. “Last night, he messaged me saying he was getting attacked . I didn’t even know. When I checked, there were already tens of thousands of comments. I hope netizens stop this because it affects us too. The collision did happen, there was ‘body contact’ and that is normal in keirin,”Shah Firdaus went on to explain that he feels guilty that his friend is enduring such cyberbullying.
“So when he experienced , I felt guilty. He messaged me, he thought Malaysians were nice people. I felt so embarrassed.”Shah Firdaus also clarified that Shinji did not apologise. Apparently, the TikTok account that shared an apology to Malaysians following the immense cyberbullying does not belong to Shinji. It is, in fact, a fan account and has since been deleted.
