Yes I read that and I think those Malaysian officials are just being a little bit silly about this.

Obviously some election is due in Malaysia and they're frantically sucking up to the voters.

IT'S. IN. GLASGOW.

Which is part of Britain.

I wonder if any of the Malaysian competitors will claim asylum....

... but I noticed that the dogs had handlers so the teams didn't have to touch or have anything to do with them.

According to the article, the leader of one team had to carry his mutt, as it wouldn't budge. And that was the Malaysian team

Perhaps the Malaysian officials should shut up for a moment and read about their own religion.

If the leader was offended he wouldn't have carried the dog.

I wouldn't be surprised if the leader liked the little Scottie doggie.
