There has been a lot of discussion about our national flag, the Jalur Gemilang, lately. Like those of many other countries, Malaysia’s flag was thoughtfully designed to reflect the nation’s struggles and its fight for independence. It symbolises the authority and sovereignty of the land, as well as the peace and unity of its people.

With this in mind, whether flying, displaying, or featuring the flag in an illustration, it must be done correctly — otherwise, there could be serious consequences. Here are some recent incidents involving the incorrect display of the Jalur Gemilang by various establishments.

1. Sin Chew Daily

On 15th April, an incomplete illustration of the Jalur Gemilang appeared on the front page of the Sin Chew Daily newspaper. Netizens were quick to highlight the omission of the crescent moon, prompting the company to issue an apology and digitally correct the image. Many have speculated that the media outlet used AI to generate the image, which may have led to the noticeable error. As a result, two of the publication’s editors have been suspended indefinitely over the incident.

2. Kwong Wah Yit Poh

Just a day after the Sin Chew Daily incident, another publication came under investigation by the authorities for featuring an incorrect image of the Jalur Gemilang. Similar to the previous incident, Kwong Wah Yit Poh also published an incomplete illustration of the Malaysian flag without the crescent moon. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) reportedly summoned the publication’s management over the error, with the case now under investigation under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which pertains to the improper use of network facilities.

3. Mid Valley Baby Expo

A troubling pattern appears to be emerging. Mid Valley Megamall recently hosted its annual Baby Expo, but one of the booths made a serious blunder, and the timing couldn’t have been worse. Social media erupted after it was discovered that Singapore Lactation Bakes (SLB), one of the vendors at the event, had displayed an incomplete image of the Jalur Gemilang, once again missing the crescent moon. The event organiser quickly shut down the booth and issued an official apology over the incident.

Netizens have voiced their agreement that there must be greater accountability and awareness when it comes to displaying the Malaysian flag. That said, safeguarding the dignity of the Jalur Gemilang is not solely the responsibility of the authorities; it’s a shared duty for all who call Malaysia home.
