Singaporean soccer fans are outraged that Malaysian fans have taken to defacing Singapore's flag.
This comes after the Malaysian national team lost to Singapore's Lions 5-3, then drew 1-1 in a World Cup qualifying match on 28 July in Bukit Jalil Stadium, Malaysia.
This act came to light after a netizen snapped photos of Malaysian fans with the defaced flag and posted the photos online.
Netizens from both sides of the causeway have been flaming each other since the two teams met on the pitch, and this act will likely add more wood to the fire.
Other unsavoury acts by Malaysian soccer fans have sparked and fed the flames of Singaporeans' outrage.
During the match on 28 July, Malaysian fans had shone laser lights into the face of the Singaporean goal keeper in an apparent attempt to blind the player.
The Malaysian team captain Safiq Rahim had earlier declared that the Lions are "nothing" without its five foreign-born players.
Then a Malaysian newspaper, Sinar Harian, had carried a report criticising the Singaporean players for "acting too much on the field". Some of our Lions were briefly down during the game after enduring rough play by the Malaysian players.
