Home Ministry officers are pictured with seized Swatch watches at Southkey mall in Johor. Pix courtesy of Swatch: Lesbian,Gay, Bisexual and Transgender letters were inscribed on the face of the Swatch watches seized by the home ministry in early May, claims a source.
The home ministry on May 13 and 14 had raided 11 Swatch shops in shopping malls such as Pavillion KL, 1 Utama, Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley Megamall, and Suria Sabah for its “Pride Collection”. The raid came about after netizens had linked the “Pride Collection” watches to British rock band Coldplay’s support for the LGBT community.
