The mainstream media are trying to cover up by not reporting the uproar on the internet. End of the day, I feel that getting a medal doesn't mean you can get away with something wrong. I don't think there is a need for fine or anything. But the least she should do is to admit that the flag wasn't carried in a position with it deserved to be and apologise for it.

I wonder how SM Lee or any of our ministers will feel when they see this video... I think that SG should choose the right flag bearer in future after understanding his/her real feelings to Singapore by observing him/her. It need not be the case that she must be a real Singaporean by birth but she must be a real Singaporean by heart.... I really fear that one day Singapore will be filled up with foreign talents who do not have a sense of belonging to our nation but who see our country as a land of gold. But still, that is what our great great grandparents see Singapore as - a country to escape poverty, when they first migrated to Singapore. So the thing is that sense of belonging will not be instilled overnight but after many generations.
