Jalur Gemilang must be displayed correctly, says Loke

KUALA LUMPUR: The Jalur Gemilang, as a symbol of the nation's sovereignty, must be displayed correctly and with respect, in accordance with the law, says Anthony Loke. In a Facebook post, the DAP secretary-general said any misuse or error involving the national flag or symbols, including the Jalur Gemilang and the Malaysian Coat of Arms, are subject to the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963. "When incidents involving flag errors occur, the police must be allowed to take appropriate action based on the principle of the Rule of Law," Loke said. Loke, who is also Transport Minister, acknowledged that while Malaysians eagerly anticipate August each year, improper display of the Jalur Gemilang had sparked heated debates on social media and could shift the focus away from National Day celebrations. "With National Day approaching, let us focus on strengthening unity, respecting our diversity, and contributing to the development and progress of the Malaysia we all cherish," he added. Meanwhile, PKR vice president Chang Lih Kang called for strict action against those found guilty of displaying the Jalur Gemilang upside down. Chang, who is also the Science, Technology and Innovation Minister said the flag, as the nation's symbol, should always be displayed correctly. "There is no reason to display the Jalur Gemilang incorrectly. It represents the spirit, struggle, and unity of all Malaysians," Chang said in a Facebook post. Chang said Malaysia's laws and enforcement bodies are well-equipped to address this issue and hoped that no one would try to incite division or hatred among the people. "As we celebrate this noble month of independence, I urge all politicians to focus on fostering unity, not division," he added. – Bernama

Johor PKR chairman Dr Zaliha Mustafa said her team is fully committed to facing political challenges 'through a strategically crafted approach centred on reform'. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Johor PKR has finalised its line-up for the 2025-2028 term, including the reappointment of its deputy chairman, Md Ysahruddin Kusni, and the selection of three vice-chairmen. Johor PKR chairman Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the appointments were finalised at the chapter's first meeting for the new term, attended by 26 division chiefs, six MPs and an assemblyman, as well as the heads and deputy heads of the youth and women's wings. She said the meeting confirmed several key positions, including the reappointment of Ysahruddin as her deputy. Ysahruddin is the Bakri division chief and former Bukit Naning assemblyman. The trio appointed as vice-chairmen are Maszlee Malik, the Simpang Renggam division chief and former education minister; Jimmy Puah, MP for Tebrau and former Johor exco member; and Shamala Vasudevan, the Segamat division chief. Mohd Khuzzan Abu Bakar, Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad's deputy chairman, was appointed secretary, and Mersing division chief Khairil Adanan will lead the PKR state election committee. 'This team brings a wide range of experience, professionalism, and gender diversity, which will help guide Johor PKR forward,' Bernama quoted Zaliha as saying in a statement today. She said the chapter was fully committed to facing political challenges 'through a strategically crafted approach centred on reform'. The party will also seek to reinforce its collaboration with Pakatan Harapan component parties to ensure political stability and advance the federal government's agenda in Johor. 'With strong teamwork and unity, Johor PKR will play a key role in strengthening the party's position and driving Johor towards a more progressive future,' she said.
