Tak cukup minta maaf, Akmal mahu tindakan tegas isu bendera MCA Perak

Dr Akmal Saleh, the Chairman of Umno Youth, has urged the continuation of police investigations into the controversial incident involving the upside-down Malaysian flag and Perak state flag at the MCA headquarters in Ipoh. He emphasized that the apology and resignation of the affected MCA Perak staff should not be the end of the matter. Instead, he called for the police to thoroughly investigate the incident and inform the public about the findings.

In addition to urging the government to strengthen laws and impose stricter penalties on those involved in such acts, Akmal also demanded accountability from all parties, irrespective of their political affiliation or race. He reiterated his consistent stance that taking such actions to boost the nation's pride is unacceptable.

Earlier, MCA Perak had apologized for the incident, which occurred due to a mistake by a staff member tasked with hoisting the flags during the National Day celebrations. According to the agency, both flags were promptly lowered and properly rehoisted after the mistake was realized. The implicated staff members voluntarily offered to resign, which was accepted by MCA Perak.
