Jalur Gemilang tanpa bulan, bintang, Dr Sam jawab kes terpencil

A bizarre incident involving the Jalur Gemilang, Malaysia's highest honor, occurred without the customary crescent and star symbols, leaving officials puzzled and concerned. In a shocking display at the Batu Buruk Stadium in Kuala Terengganu, the emblem was found lacking its distinctive moon and star motifs. The Minister of State, Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, dismissed the event as unpremeditated and unremarkable, stating that he believed it to be an isolated incident and not one of concern.

He emphasized that responsibility for the mishap would be investigated, regardless of whether it was carried out by officials or the general public. Meanwhile, the Chief Officer of Kuala Terengganu City Hall, Lizan Che Mat, noted that the emblem appeared to have the symbols missing due to the intense wind and chaos that accompanied its installation.

Consequently, the authorities swiftly took action, lowering the damaged emblem and replacing it with a new one. They expressed their commitment to ensuring that future awards are properly crafted and meet all specifications.
