Mohamad Norza Zakaria, the council’s senator, said the layout changes will be discussed with Yonex Sunrise, the organization’s formal clothing supplier, in a statement released on Friday.

He claimed that the choice to modify the appearance was made after taking input from all factions, including the National Sports Council, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and sports supporters. OCM also made it clear that the standard suit design received mixed reviews.

OCM expresses gratitude to all stakeholders and sports fans in general who have opinions and opinions about the opening ceremony and the style of the Malaysian contingent’s formal attire for Paris 2024. &nbsp,

Some people who were n’t happy with the country’s original red, blue, yellow, and white flag on the outfits also criticized him.

The golden version of the OCM brand, which combines the five Olympic jewelry and the whirling national symbol, adheres to the instructions of the International Olympic Committee, according to Mohamad Norza.

He emphasized that the symbol was not a Malay symbol that had been “altered or modified haphazardly.” &nbsp,

” When used in the five- color or marble version, the colors of the five jewels are, from left to right, orange, yellow, black, green and red. Blue, black and red are at the top, while yellow and green are at the bottom. According to the IOC’s guidelines, the five-color version can only be used on a white background.

A monochrome or single-color version of the background must be used if it is anything other than white. For example, if the background is black, the logo should be used in a contrasting single colour such as white, yellow or blue”, said a statement. &nbsp,

The event planner behind the widely dismal unveiling, which took place at the opulent The Exchange TRX mall, also apologized on Thursday. &nbsp,

” We take responsibility for any errors in the way the organization and management of the event are conducted, as well as for attracting comments from fans and netizens that have an impact on OCM’s overall reputation. We wish the Malaysian contingent and OCM the best of luck, said Wong Kang Woon, the managing director of MY Creative Moments. &nbsp,

He also apologised for any “weaknesses and confusion” that arose as a result. &nbsp,
