  "account": "POLICE HOO CHUAN HUAT WARNED THAT ANYONE WHO PLACES THE NATIONAL FLAG OR THE JALUR GEMILANG MUST MONITOR AND CARE FOR THE FLAGS. According to Hoo, five people have been arrested in connection with three investigations of the Jalur Gemilang and Johor flag being flown upside-down. The arrests are under the jurisdiction of the IPD Kulai, Iskandar Puteri, and Johor Bahru South areas. The arrested individuals are mostly employees, including a 34-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman from Kulai, two men aged 25 and 43 from Johor Bahru South, and a 56-year-old man from Iskandar Puteri. Hoo stated that his office is compiling the case files before referring them to the Attorney General's Chambers for further guidance. He reminded all premises owners and caretakers that they are responsible for monitoring and caring for the flags after they are hung. The common practice behind flag placement, according to Hoo, involves foreign workers, who may not know how to properly hang the flag. The responsibility of setting up the flag correctly and conducting post-placement care, such as taking pictures to check if it is hung correctly, lies with the property owner or caretaker. In the past, it was reported that a factory in Kulai Industrial Park, Kulai, was briefly closed on Monday after the Johor flag and Jalur Gemilang were found to be upside-down. A Nepalese security guard and a local woman were arrested with four days' detention each. Yesterday, Iskandar Puteri MP Pandak Ahmad revealed a new case in the SILC Industrial Park area in Gelang Patah, Iskandar Puteri, where the factory was halted due to lack of valid business permits.",
