‘Don't hesitate to fly the flag': Aaron on upside-down Jalur Gemilang incident
PETALING JAYA: National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang has urged Malaysians not to feel afraid or hesitant to display the national flag despite recent incidents in which the Jalur Gemilang was hung upside down. 'I would like to stress that the public should not feel afraid or hesitant to display the national flag because of these incidents. Instead, we should take this opportunity to learn and understand the proper procedures for flying the Jalur Gemilang,' he said in a statement on X today. This follows a series of incidents where the Jalur Gemilang has been displayed incorrectly. Aaron described the act of hanging the flag upside down as inappropriate and a violation of the proper flag display protocol under the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963. While it could have been intentional, he said it might also have been due to negligence or lack of awareness. 'In the spirit of unity, we should not be quick to make assumptions without waiting for the full results of the investigation. 'I call on all parties to calm the situation by refraining from making provocative statements or taking actions that could further worsen matters,' he said. Aaron said the matter should be left to the authorities to investigate and determine appropriate action, adding that it serves as a reminder to appreciate and respect national symbols. He also encouraged Malaysians to support the 'One House, One Jalur Gemilang' campaign in conjunction with the National Month celebrations. He said he had instructed the Department of National Unity and Integration to carry out awareness campaigns through Rukun Tetangga areas, Rukun Negara Clubs, and the Rukun Negara Secretariat to ensure the public understands the correct way to display the national flag.

ARAU, May 18 (Bernama) -- Youths have been urged to join the Voluntary Patrol Scheme (SRS) initiative, which plays a key role in enhancing security within Neighbourhood Watch Areas (KRTs) and fostering a spirit of unity in the community from a young age.

'We strongly encourage youth involvement in SRS so they not only care about the security of their residential areas but also foster a spirit of unity and volunteerism from a young age. SRS is open to individuals aged 18 and above, and the government provides annual protection contributions for members,' he said.
