First she made a joke about buying a fake rolex. Now Thailand's culture
ministry has filed a complaint to police against Lady Gaga for misuse of
the Thai flag during her show last month.
"We are not asking police to prosecute her but it's our normal procedure
to file complaints to concerned agencies when we receive them," a
senior ministry official, who declined to be named, said by telephone.
The ministry said the part of Lady Gaga's performance when she wore a traditional headdress and sat on motorcycle in a skimpy outfit with a Thai flag trailing behind was "inappropriate and hurt Thai people's sentiment."
the
ministry noted that the Thai national flag consisted of three colours
-- red for the nation, blue for the revered monarchy and white for
religion.
Gaga caused a stir soon after her arrival in Thailand
last month by tweeting that "I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy
fake Rolex," remarks that some Thais complained cast the kingdom in a
negative light.
About 50,000 people attended her concert in
Bangkok, which was part of a tour that sparked protests from religious
hardliners in Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea.
