Why no arrests, including cops and Terengganu Umno youth?

 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1128687825982285 (Why are police, govt silent over Akmal's antics? - LFL)

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12, 2025: So, the cops in Penang have arrested a 59-yearold man for unintentionally hoisting the Jalur Gemilang (National Flag) upside-down in Kepala Batas on Saturday (Aug 9).

And North Seberang Perai OCPD Asst Comm Anuar Abd Rahman said the 59-year-old man was expected to face charges in court soon.

Also, Terengganu Umno has also insulted the Jalur Gemilang in a poster. Many images have also emerged on the police and other government offices flying the Jlur Gemilanag upside-down. Have any arrests been made on all those cases? (see visuals in this post.

Why such stern action has been taken by the police on the shopkeeper in Kepala Batas?

Are the police working hand in glove with the racist and religious bigoted Umno youth chief Dr Akmal “Dr Ham/I Am Malay First” Salleh?

It sure looks like the police are acting following Akmal’s threat to stage a protest outside the sop in Kepala Batas if the police do not arrest and charge the shopkeeper.

In fact, Akmal should be arrested for flouting the 3R (Race, Religion, Royalty) but he seems immune to the law.

Look at this comment found on WhatsApp:

> SAME issue. People make mistakes. We just need to educate and most importantly is to right what is wrong with proper action. Not making mountains out of molehills. Malaysia is wasting time and resources on trivial matters and worse still, the people running the country are encouraging it. There is only one word to describe them - STUPID;

> IF you want to practice selective racist actions, just make sure that your own backyard is in order. Let's wait for Dr Akmal's response or silence.

UMNO Youth Ironically Uses Incorrect Jalur Gemilang in FB Post Condemning Disrespect of The National Flag

Following all the turmoil in regards to the proper way to display the Malaysian flag, especially among UMNO and DAP politicians, another incident has come up.

The Terengganu state UMNO Youth Division is currently under fire for posting an image with an incorrect Jalur Gemilang illustration.

Their post read, “UMNO Youth Terengganu is very disappointed and angered by the barbaric act of hoisting the Jalur Gemilang upside down and also the cruel act of bullying sister Zara Qairina to death. These 2 tragedies have burned the hearts of Malaysians because these acts are cruel, rude and heartless.”

“UMNO Youth Terengganu will not remain silent. We urge the government and the authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice with the harshest punishment. Our flag is not insult material; our children should not be the victims of injustice! Let the harshest punishment be a lesson so that this matter does not happen again in the future.”

Ironically, eagle-eyed Malaysians spotted a mistake in the Jalur Gemilang image UMNO Youth Terengganu used in their post, that there were 12 stripes instead of 14 stripes.

After Malaysians took to the comment section to call them out for the mistake, they edited the post to replace the image with one that has a corrected Jalur Gemilang. However, many had already taken screenshots of the original image.

“Did your head not conduct a class to teach how to illustrate before posting? Don’t turn your head, YB Dr Akmal Saleh, into an embarrassment, aiyo. ‘Don’t act first, then apologise‘. It turns out that this sentence means, ‘There’s no need to apologise, just quietly correct it‘. Now I understand.” 

This comes after UMNO Youth Chief Dr. Akmal Saleh shared that he wanted to visit a Penang hardware store owner after the latter had hoisted a Jalur Gemilang upside down, to teach him how to display the Jalur Gemilang properly.

He has also been very vocal against those who display the Jalur Gemilang wrongly.

Racism, Hypocrisy & Double Standard – Why Non-Malays Should Stop Flying Flags To Avoid Persecution

12 August, 2025

 

According to Finance Twitter , A hardware owner in Penang did not expect his demonstration of patriotism – flying the national flag – would turn into a nightmare when he was being targeted by both politicians and police forces after accidentally installed and hoisted the flag “upside down”. The 59-year-old man must be kicking himself now for trying too hard to prove he’s a loyal citizen as National Day approaches.

Even though he had offered an explanation and apologized, it was too late. In other countries, he might receive praises for rushing to fly the national flag before the August 31 celebration out of pride. At most, he would receive a warning about the mistake. But in Malaysia, flying the so-called Jalur Gemilang the wrong way is worse than plundering national coffers or committing incest.

The man’s biggest mistake was not because he displayed the flag upside-down. His biggest mistake is his skin colour. He is an ethnic Chinese. Had he been a Malay, the majority race in the country, he would be given the usual slap on the wrist. It was not a coincidence that after Nazirul Hafiz posted a 20-second video of the flag blunder on Facebook account, all hell broke loose.

Hunting with sharp eyes like the American bald eagles, UMNO Youth Chief Akmal Saleh, notorious for preying on minority Chinese ethnic, happily grab his tasty meal thanks to Nazirul. The Chinese uncle, whom Akmal insulted as “Ah Pek”, is just another unlucky “second-class” Malaysian Chinese citizen that racist Akmal adds to his political trophy as he builds his “Malay hero” credential.

Making a mountain out of a molehill, the UMNO Youth plans to hold a mega rally to protest against the elderly Chinese man, even called him a “traitor” and ordered the Anwar government to take action. Under political pressure, errand boy Royal Malaysian Police, known for being one of the most corrupted institutions in Malaysia, quickly arrested the Chinese man on the same day of the incident (Aug 9).

The explanation of Feng Jin Zhen, the store owner, fell on deaf ears because his mistake was an incredible juicy political ammunition for racist Malay politicians like Akmal. Feng’s explanation – he was measuring the length of an iron pole while hanging the national flag and did not notice that the flag was upside down – was like talking to a brick wall as far as the police force is concerned.

Penang state acting police chief Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said – “The case is being investigated under Section 5 of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.” Warning the public to respect the Jalur Gemilang as a symbol of national sovereignty, Mr Alwi said the police view such acts seriously and will take firm action.

Obviously, racism, hypocrisy and double standard are getting worse even under the Anwar administration. When the Education Ministry and Terengganu PAS government similarly insulted to the national flag previously, Akmal was “Missing in Action (MIA)” and pretended nothing had happened. Likewise, the Royal Malaysian Police was silent when the offenders were one of their own kind.

Yes, Akmal knew he could attack the non-Malays, especially the Chinese, whenever he likes because even Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim dares not lift a finger to apprehend him, let alone getting the useless Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution to order the police to arrest the UMNO Youth Chief. In fact, PM Anwar silently approved Akmal’s anti-Chinese provocation in order to strengthen UMNO.

Mr Akmal also knew that the Democratic Action Party (DAP), supposedly defender of ethnic Chinese, has become an eunuch under the weak leadership of toothless Anthony Loke. Like the impotent MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association), who had lost 95% support of the Chinese community it claimed to represent, DAP leaders are now drunk with power, perk and position so much so they are terrified of rocking the boat.

Worse, even Anwar’s own party – PKR or People’s Justice Party – is competing with UMNO in milking the flag fiasco to capture some Malay votes. Joining Akmal bandwagon, Penang PKR Youth bullied the Chinese man – “The Jalur Gemilang is a symbol of sovereignty, unity, and the pride of the Malaysian people. Flying it upside down is an unacceptable insult, especially as we celebrate the month of independence.”

Perhaps the Penang PKR Youth Chief Muhammad Zakwan Mustafa Kamal should explain whether his boss Anwar’s act of freeing the world’s biggest crook – Najib Razak – from prison is a symbol of sovereignty, unity, and the pride of the Malaysian people. Perhaps stealing billions from the 1MDB sovereign wealth fund and made the country poorer by RM44 billion is an acceptable insult compared to flying the flag upside-down.

Perhaps Penang PKR Youth Chief Muhammad Zakwan Mustafa Kamal should explain whether his boss Anwar’s act of freeing ex-PM Najib Razak – the crook currently imprisoned for stealing billions from the 1MDB sovereign wealth fund and made the country poorer by RM44 billion in debt – is a symbol of sovereignty, unity, and the pride of the Malaysian people. It appears plundering national coffers is an acceptable insult compared to flying the flag upside-down.

The political game is simple. PM Anwar, who is also PKR president, allows Akmal to attack the Chinese community so that the racist and corrupt UMNO could win back Malay voters it had lost since the 2018 General Election. PKR desperately needed the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) to deliver the critical Malay votes because PKR itself has failed to do so.

Because the next 16th General Election will most likely be fought directly between Anwar-led crowded multi-coalition government (primarily PKR-led Pakatan Harapan and UMNO-led Barisan Nasional) with opposition Perikatan Nasional, any increase of Malay voters for UMNO is also a win for PKR, which in turn will strengthen PKR’s demand for a second term premiership for Anwar.

Crucially, Malays’ support for PKR has peaked, even stagnated at 27%, well below the critical 35% threshold needed to secure vital parliamentary seats. More importantly, a bloc that could swing the election – about 28% of undecided Malay voters – will decide who will form the next government. Essentially, only UMNO Malay nationalist party could – hopefully – deliver the Malay votes.

PKR and UMNO’s top priority is Malay votes. Other ethnicities can be sacrificed. At the same time, UMNO quietly hopes to return to its past glory – a dominant party so that it can rule on its own again without sharing power. If UMNO could recapture its Malay supporters who had abandoned it, the party could leave its current ally Pakatan Harapan and form a new government on its own.  

UMNO has nothing to lose by constantly punching the Chinese. It had already lost 95% of the Chinese votes anyway after MCA was decapitated. On the contrary, Akmal, clearly outsourced by UMNO President Zahid Hamidi to do the dirty work, could help drive racist UMNO-Malays to return to the party by intimidating, bullying and attacking the minority Chinese.

But what about the risk of losing Chinese supporters? Both Anwar and Zahid believe they have the formula to lock in the vote bank. What they needed to do is to warn the Chinese that the alternative – racist bigot Bersatu and religious extremist PAS – is worse, and voila, the Chinese community will blindly vote like lemmings for PKR and UMNO come rain or shine.

That explains why both PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and UMNO president Zahid Hamidi have never bothered to defend the Chinese community whenever scumbag Akmal assaults the minorities. They were betting that the Chinese have no options but to support Pakatan Harapan or Barisan Nasional because they are the lesser of two evils compared to Opposition Perikatan Nasional.

The strategy of joining forces in the next election to prevent three-cornered fights, which will benefit the opposition due to votes split especially in Malay-majority constituencies, PKR and UMNO believe they would win easily. And if the Chinese choose to stay at home rather than to vote, Anwar could easily blame DAP, the same way MCA took the blame after decades of UMNO bullying.

It does not make sense that a Chinese business owner had nothing better to do and deliberately raised the national flag upside-down just to get himself into trouble.The solution is simple – all non-Malays should stop flying flags.It’s safer and wiser not to display the Malaysian flag and be accused of unpatriotic than to display the flag and risk being arrested but still being branded unpatriotic and all types of nonsense.

Make no mistake – you don’t break any law by not displaying national flag. But you certainly break the law by showing the flag the wrong way, either deliberately or accidentally. Like it or not, this is not a good time to show patriotism (which they don’t appreciate anyway) because racist mad dogs like UMNO-Akmal are running the show. At the end of the day – display national flag at your own risk.

Global Survey : Malaysia Ranked 2nd Most Racist Country In The World

12 August, 2025

Racial discrimination in Malaysia is a very touchy subject even in the 21st century. It’s one thing for Malaysians to be racist with each other but when that racial discrimination gets global attention, Malaysians do not take it lightly.



According to a recent global survey done by a data portal, IndexmundiMalaysia ranked at 2nd place for racial discrimination, behind South Africa.

 

Problem Explanation

Racial discrimination is a deeply rooted issue that has profound consequences for individuals, communities, and the overall fabric of society. Here are key reasons why racial discrimination in a country is considered a problem:

1. Violation of Human Rights: Racial discrimination constitutes a violation of basic human rights, denying individuals the right to equal treatment, dignity, and freedom from discrimination.

2. Undermining Social Cohesion: Discrimination based on race fractures social cohesion by creating divisions and fostering a sense of inequality. This can lead to tension, mistrust, and the fragmentation of communities.

3. Impact on Mental Health: Racial discrimination has detrimental effects on the mental health of individuals who experience it, leading to stress, anxiety, depression, and other psychological consequences.

4. Economic Disparities: Racial discrimination contributes to economic disparities, limiting opportunities for marginalized racial groups in education, employment, and wealth accumulation. This perpetuates cycles of poverty and inequality.

5. Reduced Access to Opportunities: Discrimination denies individuals equal access to educational, employment, and advancement opportunities, hindering their personal and professional development.

6. Undermining Diversity and Inclusion: Discrimination hampers efforts to build diverse and inclusive societies. Embracing diversity fosters creativity, innovation, and the richness that comes from different perspectives and experiences.

7. Legal and Social Injustice: Racial discrimination leads to legal and social injustice, as individuals may face unfair treatment in the legal system, law enforcement, and various institutions.

8. Political Instability: Persistent racial discrimination can contribute to political instability, as marginalized groups may face exclusion from political processes and experience systemic inequalities.

9. Violence and Conflict: Racial discrimination can escalate into violence and conflict, with discriminatory practices fuelling social unrest and animosities between different racial or ethnic groups.

10. Global Reputation: Countries that tolerate or perpetuate racial discrimination may suffer damage to their global reputation, affecting diplomatic relations, trade partnerships, and international cooperation.

Stop Racism: Blaming All Malaysian Chinese For Flag-Related Issues Is Unfair – Stop Targeting Malaysian Chinese For Political Gain

12 August, 2025

 

According to Norman Radzuan , Kenapa Cina buat kita kecoh, Melayu buat kita diam?

Isu bendera ini bukan baru… malah dlm majlis sukan antarabangsa juga berlaku insiden seperti ini. Isu begini sepatutnya ditangani dgn baik bukan dipolitikkan.

 

Viral photo of upside-down Jalur Gemilang at police HQ from 2016: Cops. Seremban police have clarified that a viral image showing the Malaysian flag being flown upside-down at the district police headquarters is not a recent incident

Berlaku di balai Perak, berlaku di Masjid Kota Damansara, berlaku tadika Pasti, berlaku di Sarawak, … tetapi kenapa kita memilih jika org Cina lakukan kita perbesarkan atau menjadi batu api.

Nak tanya… adakah di negara ini orang Melayu boleh buat apa sahaja tetapi bangsa lain dianggap kurang ajar, pembuli dan sebagainya?

Kita kata kita beriman kpd Allah… solat tak tinggal tetapi kita tidak peduli apa yg Allah minta? Ingat bukan amalan kamu itu jaminan ke syurga tetapi ketakwaan dan byk Allah pesan dlm Al Quran… BERTAKWA DAN ADIL

“ Wahai org2 yg beriman, jadilah kamu penegak (kebenaran) kerana ALLAH (dan) saksi2 (yg bertindak) dgn adil. Janganlah kebencianmu terhadap suatu kaum mendorong kamu untuk berlaku tidak adil. Berlakulah adil kerana (adil) itu lebih dekat kepada takwa. Bertakwalah kepada ALLAH. Sesungguhnya ALLAH Maha Teliti terhadap apa yang kamu kerjakan,”

Sebenarnya jika kita terpaling tentang isu2 seperti bendera atas dasar perkauman…percayalah sebenarnya anda sudah terpengaruh dan dirosakkan dgn pemikiran kebencian perkauman iaitu yg dibenci oleh agama tanpa kita sedari.

Manakan tidak di mana kita ketika Masjid Kota Damansara atau tadika ‘membuli’ rakyat Malaysia? Sb itu kita kena adil… apa perasaan anda ketika kecil dahulu ibu bapa kita tidak adil dgn diri kita berbanding adik beradik yg lain???

Ingatlah org bukan Islam tidak membaca Al Quran tetapi mereka melihat Islam daripada kita sebagai org Islam.

Adakah mereka akn tertarik dgn akhlak kita yg tidak adil dan membenci bangsa lain?

All parties are reminded not to rush to make assumptions regarding the recent viral incident in which the Malaysian flag was displayed upside down, says Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang (pic).

The National Unity Minister said the act of displaying the Malaysian flag upside down is inappropriate and contrary to the proper protocol for flying the national flag as stipulated in the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963, but the actual cause of the incident must first be determined.

“In the spirit of unity, we should not hastily make assumptions before the results of a complete investigation are available,” he said in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday (Aug 11).

Aaron said the incident could have been intentional or due to an error or public ignorance about the correct way to fly the Jalur Gemilang.

 

Resolve flag blunder issue via law, not UMNO Youth’s “selective mob justice” manner

THE national level DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) strongly condemn the statement of UMNO Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh who urged the public to “visit” a business premise located in Kepala Batas, Penang “to right” the issue of the Jalur Gemilang being hung upside down.

This action not only gives the impression that Dr Akmal wants to act like an authority but such an approach itself does not uphold the rule of law.

National DAPSY therefore slams the hypocritical and double-standard attitude shown by Dr Akmal on the Jalur Gemilang issue.

Has the Melaka state EXCO ever mobilised the public to “visit” the Education Ministry (MOE) and the Terengganu PAS headquarters which have also committed mistakes of a similar nature?

The answer is negative which clearly shows how hypocritical the current UMNO Youth chief is.

Malaysia is a constitutional country based on the rule of law. Any action that violates the law or regulations – including blunders in the flying of the Jalur Gemilang – should be dealt with according to existing procedures and regulations, not through actions that involve intimidation or ‘mob justice’.

‘Political gimmick’

Patriotic awareness cannot be fostered through threats but through consistent education.

DAPSY insists that action should be taken against lawbreakers in a manner consistent with the law.

However, the act of magnifying the issue and mobilising the public to “teach the perpetrators a lesson” is just a political gimmick that does not benefit national unity. A representative of the people should play a role in uniting the people, not causing tension.

DAPSY believes that errors in flying the national flag constitutes an action that must be punished according to the law.

However, what is dangerous to the society today is the attitude of some politicians like Dr Akmal who chooses to politicise such issues for personal gain.

Our country does not need “moral police”; instead, Malaysia needs leaders who prioritise peace, harmony and the integrity of the law.

On this note, National DAPSY calls on all parties, especially Dr Akmal who has repeatedly divided the multi-racial community, to stop the culture of confrontational politics which only creates hatred and division.

Our country will be more developed if we use the methods of dialogue, continuous education and willingness to obey the law.

PAS Apologises for Jalur Gemilang Design Error on Event Poster, Says It was an “Unintentional Technical Issue”

PAS Terengganu has issued a public apology for a design error on its “Himpunan Teguh Memimpin Terengganu (TMT) 2025” event teaser poster, which featured a Malaysian flag with an incorrect number of points on its star. 

The error was spotted by Malaysians online after the event teaser poster was shared by Terengganu Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Ir Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, with many calling him and the party out for the error.

Specifically, netizens noticed that the Jalur Gemilang, which was put on the left side of the PAS flag, had only 11 points on the “Federal Star” instead of 14 points.

In case you’re not familiar, the 14-point star on the Jalur Gemilang, known as the “Federal Star”, is symbolic of the unity of Malaysia’s 13 member states and the federal territories.

Besides that, the logo also features 12 red-and-white stripes instead of 14, which is meant to represent the equal status in the federation for the 13 member states and the federal territories. 

Following the backlash, PAS Terengganu took to its official Facebook page to issue a public apology and rectify the error.

In the post, the Himpunan TMT 2025 secretariat “expressed its deepest appreciation and thanks” to those who pointed out the Jalur Gemilang error on the Himpunan TMT 2025 teaser logo design. 

“We would like to express our sincere apologies to all citizens and supporters for the unintentional technical error and have taken immediate action to withdraw the use of the logo.”
