According to reports, a couple of our nation's flags are actually sewn onto Indonesian flags by using a patch of red cloth that contained the crescent and the five stars.

This is absolutely ridiculous. How could a national flag be tampered? No wonder the Chef-de-mission [Team Singapore's leader] is enraged.

I also saw it myself on the television on Today at the Games in the interview with the sailing coach or whoever it is. The national flag which stood behind does look weird. The square patch that contains the crescent and stars looked especially red.

I just don't understand it. How could this happen?
