On Tuesday, Germany demolished the host nation Brazil in a 7-1 World Cup win that will go down in history. It was an astonishing victory for the Germans, and an epically humiliating loss for the Brazilians. For observers, it was at the very least remarkable.
After the game, Malaysian MP Bung Mokhtar Radin, a member of the dominant United Malays National Organization, decided to tweet to congratulate Germany.
He did so by congratulating Hitler.
WELL DONE..BRAVO...LONG LIVE HITLER...— Bung Moktar Radin (@MyKinabatangan) July 8, 2014
Celebrating a man who died almost 70 years ago for his country winning a sporting event would be odd at the best of times: Few people invoke Franklin D. Roosevelt when the U.S. team wins a game, for example. Of course, Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany and one of the great scourges of history, is a special case.
Bung's tweet has sparked a flurry of controversy in Malaysia.

He’s an idiot; if Hitler had been running the German team, he would have ordered the defenders to “stand in place” and not retreat, all while waiting for the development of the “miracle player” to retrieve the situation. The Brazilians would have run rings around them.
Asians don’t really know or understand the Nazis and that part of WWII.
Their idea of German is Hitler
He was German, the most famous one.
As far as atrocities, Asian history is full of them. No big deal.
Maybe he’s related to Obama or Reid?
Hitler & Naziism were the main force pushing white Aryan supremacism.
These Malays need to look in the mirror before praising Hitler any further. Der Fuhrer would have thought them, shall we say.....lesser?
As ignorant as the hipsters with their “Che” t-shirts.
“Hitler” is a name that carries horrible connotations.
The same can be said for the name “Bung”. LOL.
What a JERK.
Ok, so World History is not a required course in Malaysia?
Jeez, now he’s a fully qualified democrat. How many times will he get to vote this year?!?
brilliant!
A stupid politician? Say it ain’t so!
