Take note: it’s just not worth smuggling anything into South-East Asia. Not even proverbial budgies.

Nine Australian men have been arrested for flashing their Malaysian-flag jocks, following yesterday’s Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit.

The men, aged between 25 and 29, face likely counts of breaching the peace, public indecency, and charges under Malaysia’s Minor Offences Act regarding “insulting behaviour.”

Images of the group have appeared on social media in the nation, with many commenters expressing indignation at their attire.

Action should be taken on them. Very disrespectful towards the National Flag. @PDRMsia @themmailonline @UMonline @BuletinTV3 pic.twitter.com/Mt4mUwGyHg

District police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Aziz Ali said the group will be remanded in custody for four days, with their case being referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor.

We’ll keep you posted on developments in this saga, but here’s some advice for the time being: if you’re gonna celebrate an Australian clinching a Grand Prix win, just stick to shoeys for the time being, yeah?
