Nine Australians may face some jail time after they stripped down to their skimpy briefs designed with Malaysian flag.
The Aussies, popularly known as Budgie Nine by the Australian media, really know how to celebrate as they went down almost naked and drank beer from their shoes at the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix after Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo won the race. The nine Aussies caused a scene in conservative Malaysia prompting the arrest.
According to the Malaysian police, the Australians were arrested and are currently investigated for intentionally insulting the nation and provoking breach of peace and public indecency. If proven guilty, the Budgie Nine may face two years in prison, a fine, or both. The nine appeared in Malaysian court on Thursday fully-dressed.
Racer Ricciardo, which triumph caused the disrobing of fellow Australians, said that the act is "pretty harmless". He added that he is sure that the nine Aussies did not mean to offend anyone and the act is purely celebratory.

This clearly shows the difference between the two nations. Australia is known for its liberal and easy going attitude. The country has several nudist beaches. In contrast, Malaysia is a very conservative country that still follows old customary traditions.
