National Day is two days away, and rehearsals are in full swing!
Just about an hour ago, a video of a crucial mistake spotted at the National Day Parade rehearsals this morning at Dataran Merdeka started circulating on the Internet and going viral.
The incident occurred during the Jalur Gemilang raising ceremony when attendees sang the Negaraku song.
It turns out that there was an error in raising the Jalur Gemilang flag, causing it to fly upside down in the wind.
It is alleged that the flag-raising team was aware of the mistake but could not do anything until the song, Negaraku, finished playing.
This was done out of respect for the national anthem and in accordance with ceremonial protocols.
As soon as the song ended, the Jalur Gemilang hoisting team took appropriate action to correct the orientation of the Jalur Gemilang.
The raising of the Jalur Gemilang has become a tradition for the Royal Malaysian Navy, and this incident was unexpected.
In the comments, netizens lament the carelessness of those responsible for raising the flag.
“Double-check next time. Don’t be overconfident.”
“That’s embarrassing. Even the flag can be raised upside down.”
Watch the full video below:
Merujuk kepada insiden video yang tular di media sosial acara menaikkan Jalur Gemilang ketika nyanyian lagu Negaraku semasa raptai penuh Sambutan Hari Kebangsaan 2022 di Dataran Merdeka pagi tadi, telah berlaku kesilapan tatacara menaikkan Jalur Gemilang secara terbalik oleh tim penaik Jalur Gemilang. Perkara tersebut telah disedari oleh tim penaik Jalur Gemilang, namun acara perlu diteruskan sehingga selesai lagu Negaraku dimainkan sebagai menghormati lagu kebangsaan dan mengikut tatacara protokol istiadat. Sebaik tamat lagu Negaraku, tim penaik Jalur Gemilang telah mengambil tindakan yang sewajarnya memperbetulkan kedudukan Jalur Gemilang dengan yang sebenarnya. Acara menaikkan Jalur Gemilang telah menjadi tradisi kepada Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia dan insiden yang berlaku ini adalah di luar jangkaan.
