With National Day just around the corner, many households and offices have started to put up the Jalur Gemilang to show their patriotism! However, did you know that there are rules when it comes to putting up the Malaysian flag?

This long list of rules (it’s reeeally long) was shared on a Facebook post by ATOM Malaysia, and in case you’re unaware, one of the rules states that you can only put up the flag horizontally, even in large quantities, known as a flag line.

195881581 L Normal None

That’s right, you CANNOT put up the Jalur Gemilang in large quantities vertically, not even the triangle-shaped ones.

On top of that, there are also rules for when you’re NOT waving the Jalur Gemilang, such as how you cannot wrap objects with the flag or paint anything resembling the flag on any object.

 

Here’s the full list of do’s and don’ts

Malaysians are wondering “What’s the logic behind this?”

“That is a lot of rules.”

“Please inform the government, and teach the ministers the proper way to put up the Jalur Gemilang.”

“There are too many do’s and don’ts.”

“You can’t even get the Madani logo right. Don’t pick sides.”

“What a headache. I just want to wave the flag, and now I have to follow the format.”

“I don’t know, to me, you shouldn’t have too many rules about waving a flag. Now, I’m feeling guilty because we never had this issue back then. To me, as long as we’re not degrading the flag, that’s enough. I apologise in advance if anyone disagrees with my take.”

“Too many rules. From celebrating the flag to feeling guilty for violating the rules, and eventually, August passes by.”

Other Malaysians are pointing out the Malaysia Madani logo in the picture which goes against some of the rules listed

“The Madani logo is worse.”

“What about the Madani logo? How was it approved?”

 

Fellow Malaysians, what do you think of the rules to put up the Jalur Gemilang? Have you unconsciously violated any of them?
