Earlier this week, a video surfaced on social media showing the Jalur Gemilang flag being installed at Dataran Batu Buruk without the crescent moon and five-pointed star symbols. The incident, which quickly went viral, sparked widespread discussion among netizens.
Terengganu Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, clarified that the omission of the symbols was unintentional and an isolated case. He stated that the matter would be thoroughly investigated to prevent any recurrence, regardless of who was responsible for installing the flag.
Kuala Terengganu City Council Mayor, Lizan Che Mat, explained that the missing crescent moon and star symbols were likely due to the stitching process gone awry. Following public outcry, the flag was promptly taken down and replaced, with the missing elements re-added to the new version.
The viral video showed the flag being installed without the symbolic crescent moon and stars, leading to an outpouring of comments and debate on various social media platforms.
