Kulai factory closed after flying Jalur Gemilang, Johor flag upside down
Operations at the premises have been halted pending an explanation, says state exco Jafni Shukor.
A factory in Kulai, Johor was temporarily ordered to close after being discovered flying the national and state flags upside down. Johor's housing and local government committee chairman, Jafni Shukor, emphasized the seriousness of the incident, as both flags symbolize the country and state's identity, dignity and sovereignty. He stated that the matter could not be dismissed as a minor oversight and required addressing.
The Kulai Municipal Council (MPKu) halted operations at the factory until the company provided an explanation. Following the discovery, both flags were promptly corrected, and the district officer is working with MPKu and other agencies to ensure proper action is taken. Jafni warned businesses and industrial operators throughout Johor to display flags correctly and responsibly, emphasizing that negligence is no excuse for showing disrespect to state and national symbols.
