Malaysia wants the world to know that it is officially homophobic. They won't even let you tell time in a gay way.

Owners or sellers of rainbow-coloured timepieces made by Swiss watchmaker Swatch face three years in prison in Malaysia, the interior ministry has announced, as the Muslim-majority country rails against LGBTQ symbols it says could "harm morals". Homosexuality is outlawed in Malaysia and LGBTQ people face repeated discrimination. Malaysia's law enforcement unit at the interior ministry raided Swatch stores at 11 shopping malls across the country in May, including in the capital Kuala Lumpur, for timepieces bearing what it called "LGBT elements". Anyone who "prints, imports, produces… or has in his possession" such items now faces a jail term of up to three years, the ministry said in a statement.

FFS, the bigots in the Malaysian government are actually counting colors in rainbows.

A ministry official told AFP in May that 172 watches worth $14,000 were seized in raids because they bore the "LGBTQ" acronym and had six colours instead of the seven in a rainbow. The six-colour rainbow Pride flag is one of the most well-known LGBTQ symbols globally.

This isn't the first time recently that LGBTQ+ matters have been in the news in Malaysia.

Matt Healy, frontman of British pop rock band The 1975, kissed a male band mate onstage and criticised the country's anti-LGBTQ laws. The ban comes ahead of elections in six Malaysian states that will serve as a barometer of public sentiment for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's unity government against a powerful opposition consisting of Malay-Muslim political parties. He has been criticised by the opposition who allege he is not doing enough to protect Malaysia's Islamic values. Anwar says his government will not back LGBTQ rights.

^^^ That last statement is fairly obvious.

According to DSL, this is what Malaysia exports:

Malaysia’s most valued exports would be electronics and electrical goods. They make up a high percentage of Malaysia exports of 36%, followed by chemicals (7.1%), petroleum goods (7.0%), liquefied natural gas (6%), and palm oil (5.1%).

We shouldn't use palm oil from anywhere for environmental reasons; that's easy to do without. But when buying electronics or electrical goods, always look for the country of origin. If it says Made in Malaysia then look for an alternative. Tourism and business conferences in Malaysia should also be avoided.

We don't have to enrich homophobes in Malaysia who use religion as a cover for their bigotry. .
