Factory supervisor arrested over upside-down Jalur Gemilang, Johor flag
ISKANDAR PUTERI: Police arrested a factory supervisor yesterday after the Jalur Gemilang and Johor flag were found flying upside down at a factory in Gelang Patah here.
Police arrested a 56-year-old factory supervisor in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, after his factory's Jalur Gemilang and Johor flag were found flying upside down, according to prosecutors. The supervisor claimed the display was accidental, but police seized the flags and detained him as part of an investigation under multiple laws, including Section 5 of the Emblems and Names Act.
Kota Iskandar assemblyman Datuk Pandak Ahmad initially alerted authorities about the improper flag display, which led to the closure of the factory, which was also found operating without a valid business licence.
