And yet, another premises was spotted displaying an upside-down Jalur Gemilang, and this time, a shoe store in Jalan Medan Batu Caves 1 in Batu Caves, Selangor, gained the spotlight for the blunder.
Assistant Commissioner Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir, Gombak District Police Chief, said that the police received a report about the matter on Saturday (August 23) around 11:29 AM. This time, the Jalur Gemilang fiasco involved officers from the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM), who were called to the scene to remove the Malaysian flag from the shoe store.

JBPM received the report about the matter on the same day at 10:20 AM, before the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) received the report. A team of firefighters from the Selayang Fire Station was deployed to the scene 9 minutes later.
The firefighters used a ladder to climb to the outside of the first floor of the shoe store to remove the Jalur Gemilang, which was displayed inaccurately. The flag was then passed to the police.
Noor Ariffin also said that the investigation papers on the matter have been completed, and a statement from the owner of the premises has been recorded.
The investigation is being conducted under Section 3 of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963, reported Harian Metro.
