Singapore's government has rebuked its water polo team at the Asian Games for wearing "inappropriate" swimming trunks featuring parts of the national flag.
The custom-made design includes a crescent-shaped moon on the front.
The information ministry says it was not consulted, and wants "elements of the flag to be treated with dignity".
A country's colours cannot be changed during the Asian Games. The Singaporean team has apologised and said the trunks would not be used after the tournament.
