nope.thats an extreme extrapolation of baseless assumption
people look at it.and see it as a statue of eagle.and move on
im from kedah
and never have i found anyone go to langkawi and said
"god damn im so taksub with the eagle statue"
never in my life
For u maybe not
But for others, i dare not speak
For example, (for example, please), Buddha reminded his disciples not to worship him because he is not god. Instead they should practise his teaching instead.
Nowadays u see so many idolatry and people misled into building gold statues and huge monuments and grand temples etc
It would be a mockery of the teaching of the great teacher
Similarly, the golden calf was worshipped during moses' absence.
So, to eliminate any recurrence, it is better to just appreciate the scenery of the god-made vast sea without the man-made eagle there.
