In a Facebook video message, Dr. Akmal urged the government to strengthen laws and impose harsher penalties on individuals who intentionally engage in such acts. He questioned whether this is the only action required, asking, "Is that all? Or would you like more?" His stance remained consistent, regardless of political affiliation or ethnicity. He emphasized that anyone who seeks to tarnish our national flag cannot be tolerated, irrespective of skin color or political persuasion.
MCA Perak had previously apologized for the incident where the Jalur Gemilang and Perak state flag were flown upside down at their Ipoh headquarters. Dr. Mah Hang Soon, the party's secretary-general, said the mishap occurred due to an error by a staff member who was assigned to hoist both flags during National Day celebrations. He stated that both flags were immediately lowered and properly replaced after the mistake was realized. The affected staff member voluntarily offered to resign, which MCA Perak accepted.
