Investigation papers on Kepala Batas upside-down flag incident handed over to AGC, says the police
GEORGE TOWN: The investigation papers on an incident involving a man seen raising an upside-down Malaysian flag have been submitted to the Attorney General's Chambers, says Asst Comm Anuar Abd Rahman. The North Seberang Perai OCPD added that once given the directive, the police will charge the man. "There is one man who is the boss of the company. We are just waiting for the orders. "If it is given today, we will charge him tomorrow," he told the media after the hand-over ceremony of the new Penang police chief at the Senior Officers' Mess of the Royal Malaysia Police in Jalan Batu Gantung here on Monday (Aug 11). ACP Anuar said the man, who was arrested, is out on police bail. "We only arrested one person but recorded statements from around 10 people related to this case," he said. It was reported on Saturday (Aug 9) that the police were investigating an incident involving footage of a man seen raising an upside-down Malaysian flag. The footage is believed to have been recorded in Kepala Batas. It prompted an individual to lodge a report at the Kepala Batas police station at about 12.30pm on Saturday (Aug 9). ACP Anuar had said the case was being investigated under Section 5 of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963, Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1988. The 21-second video went viral showing two men at a hardware shop here apparently intentionally displaying and flying the Jalur Gemilang upside down, drawing condemnation from Internet users. Following that, several non-governmental organisations and political parties, as well as Bertam assemblyman Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican lodged police reports. Reezal Merican said the country has laws to protect the dignity and symbols of the nation, and therefore, proper investigations and action must be taken to ensure such incidents do not recur.

Police set up a cordon about 50 metres from the grave, with tight security throughout the operation, which followed a court order granted earlier that day at the Papar district police headquarters. Zara Qairina, 13, reportedly fell from the third floor of her school dormitory in Papar on July 16 and was pronounced dead the following day, amid widespread public concern over allegations that her death may have involved school bullying and a cover-up.
