Well, he was living in a country where gays and lesbians are openly shamed and prosecuted for being so, and anything that might reflect/represent homosexuality (that would definitely be the pink shirt to them) is seriously frowned upon.

I also don't know what Malaysians think of pink shirts. Perhaps it's totally normal, but there's certainly a possibility that it's not.
Even though you see male office workers in pink shirts "all the time" I think there's still somewhat of a stigma in the US associated with which colors a man chooses to wear. I believe that some people think a pink shirt makes a man look gay. Either way, I pointed out the picture not only for those reasons but to express my appreciation for his fashion sense, which I couldn't detect at all in the pics he posted of himself in T-shirts and baggy cargo pants. edit: here is the opinion of one Malaysian man who doesn't have a BIG problem with it but feels that men should look tougher than women and pink symbolizes softness.

Men wear pink shirts here and think nothing of it. It may have been a gay thing to do in the 1970s and 1980s but now it's just another colour.
If this article which I just sourced is anything to go by, Howard may well have been making a statement with his pink shirt. Why is Malaysia trying to spot gay schoolchildren? | Matthew Todd | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
