Upside-down Jalur Gemilang stunt risks Malaysians’ image in Australia – minister

A group of Malaysian citizens, believed to be from East Malaysia and part of the NGO Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia, were involved in a protest at the Parliament building in Melbourne, Australia, where they flew the Malaysian flag upside down. The group's actions were condemned by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs) Mustapha Sakmud, who stated that it did not reflect the culture of the people of Sabah and Sarawak.

He encouraged the public to make formal complaints to the police regarding the incident. The issue is related to the MA63 (Malaysia Agreement 1963) struggle, which has been an open agenda for the Madani government.
