KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11, 2025: When it comes to making unintentional mistakes related to the Jalur Gemilang (national flag), selective persecution and prosecution is the order of the day.
While in certain cases police action is swift, others see no action being reported.
The police need to explain to Malaysians why, in some cases, action is swift with arrests while other cases seem to have no action at all.
On Saturday (Aug 9), a 59-year-old hardware store owner in Penang was arrested for hoisting the Jalur Gemilang upside down.
The man took remedial action upon realising the mistake, apologised to the public for the blunder and lodged a police report to explain his mistake.
However, still he was arrested.
What about the case of the Education Ministry featuring a two-star Jalur Gemilang?
Was there any action? Was anyone arrested? All selectively and conveniently forgotten?

AL and CLK are spot on, but UMNO’s pulling a disgusting stunt, demonizing non-Malays just to scrape up votes from Malay/Muslim folks!
Everyone I talked to in KL is saying the same thing: PN’s gaining ground in Selangor, NS, and Melaka, while keeping their grip tight up in Northern Malaya. If PN can capture more seats in Southern Malaya, then UMNO is in big trouble.
UMNO needs more than 26 seats in the next GE if they want anyone to take them seriously— right now, they’re pathetically trailing behind even the combined GPS/GRS from Borneo! And yet they hold the DPM1 post.
If UMNO screws up and loses more seats next election, which is looking likely, they can kiss the DPM1 spot goodbye.
That’s why UMNO Youth is playing the filthy racial card at every turn! It’s a disgrace, and they’re dragging Malaysia down with them!

PETALING JAYA: Police have arrested a 59-year-old hardware store owner in Penang for hoisting the Jalur Gemilang upside down yesterday.
Acting Penang police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin said the investigation paper will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor’s office tomorrow for further action.
In a statement, Alwi said the arrest was carried out in Kepala Batas.
He said 16 reports had been received nationwide over the incident, including 12 from within Penang.
Yesterday, Seberang Perai Utara police launched an investigation into the incident.
District police chief Anuar Abd Rahman said the authorities were investigating the incident for improper use of emblems and names, insulting behaviour and improper use of network facilities.
Statements from the complainant as well as the suspect involved in the incident were also recorded.
A video, uploaded at about 12.30pm, showed a man hoisting the flag while another recorded it.
Malaysiakini reported that the hardware shop owner said he was measuring the length of an iron pole while hanging the flag and did not notice that it was upside down.
The owner said he rectified the mistake immediately after realising it.
He apologised for the blunder and lodged a report at the Kepala Batas police station to provide an explanation.
Education Ministry Apologises For Two-Star Jalur Gemilang Oversight
This is the third case of a flag snafu in just over a week.
April 24, 2025
The bastardisation of Malaysia’s glorious Jalur Gemilang continues through the Ministry of Education’s (MoE) latest Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia’s (SPM) results analysis report, which was released today on 24 April.
An image of a classroom is depicted on the cover page of the report, and over on the top left corner a Malaysian flag is visible. Or at least, what’s supposed to look like the country’s national flag.
In what is probably the worst AI (allegedly) rendition ever, this depiction of the flag contains two stars instead of one, and eight stripes instead of 14.
Well, at least the crescent moon is there this time.

The education ministry has since issued an apology over the gaffe. In a statement, it said printed copies of the report have been recalled and corrections are being made immediately.
“This oversight is unacceptable, as the Jalur Gemilang is a symbol of the country’s pride and sovereignty.
“Immediate and stern action has been taken against all parties involved, and a thorough investigation is currently underway,” the ministry said.
Two local newspapers have already misprinted the national flag in the past week
One would think after a series of country flag-related blunders, organisations would be taking extra caution before printing anything that contains the flag which represents the nation.
Two local Chinese-language newspapers were embroiled in similar controversy just over a week ago.
On 15 April, Sin Chew Daily published an image with the Jalur Gemilang on its front page that was missing the crescent moon. The moon represents Islam, which is the official religion of Malaysia, so you can imagine how that went with the Muslim community, authorities, and even the Agong.
Two days later, on 17 April, another Chinese-language daily printed the flag without the crescent moon and the 14-pointed star missing one point. The points of the star represent each of Malaysia’s 13 states and federal territories.
However, there was speculation that the flag on Kwong Wah Yit Poh’s front page may have not entirely been their fault, as a Twitter user pointed out the image may have been taken from a digital billboard just outside Fahrenheit 88, a shopping mall on Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.
Some said the mall should be blamed, while others thought the news daily should also be accountable for not double or triple-checking before going to print.
