Apparently she was willing to strip naked if the Malaysian Polo team wins; that’s how confident she was about our national team.
The statement made by the 23-year-old quickly garnered netizens’ attention and went viral on social media. Although it was removed hours later, some netizens had already screenshot her statement as they waited patiently for the results of the match.

As harmless and amusing the tweet is, netizens wanted to join in on the fun and teased for her to fulfill her own words.
Just before netizens could take her up to her words, Lala quickly claimed that her earlier statement was of course just for fun.
“I didn’t realise that my joke would be taken seriously. The word ‘bogel’ doesn’t mean that I really wanted to strip naked,” Lala said.
“Also, it’s not a bet on whether the Malaysia team would win or lose. I admitted that the word ‘bogel’ was sensitive and I apologise for any misunderstanding stemmed from this,” she added.
Netizens who saw her tweet were definitely amused. At least it made a lot of people’s day!
