SEA Games 33 Organizing Committee made another serious mistake

At the opening ceremony of the 33rd SEA Games held on the evening of December 9, in the art performance, the 33rd SEA Games Organizing Committee of the host country Thailand used visual effects to simulate maps of regional countries. However, when it came to displaying the map of Vietnam, the projected image only included the mainland, completely missing the two archipelagos of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa, Phu Quoc island under Vietnam's sovereignty .

This error was quickly discovered by many people watching the opening ceremony livestream.

Not only that, in the introduction of previous SEA Games, the Organizing Committee also showed the 1997 SEA Games held in Indonesia but mistakenly displayed the Singapore flag. Previously, the Organizing Committee was also criticized for mistaking the Vietnamese and Lao national flags in the women's futsal competition schedule, but there has been no official apology.

Notably, this is not the first time the 33rd SEA Games Organizing Committee has made a mistake related to the identification of member countries. Before the opening ceremony, the Organizing Committee posted the women's futsal competition schedule but mistakenly used the Vietnamese flag as the Thai flag, and also mistook the Lao flag for the Indonesian flag. Immediately after discovering the error, the Organizing Committee quietly deleted the competition schedule from the fanpage, without giving any official explanation or apology.

These consecutive incidents have made public opinion in the region question the level of caution and professionalism of the SEA Games 33 Organizing Committee, especially in the context that issues related to maps, national flags or national symbols always require absolute precision to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
