The Patriotic Surfer and others

The call has been out since late July, the call to fly the Jalur Gemilang and be patriotic. A Minister mentioned that he would like to see a "sea of Jalur Gemilang" and the DPM is making calls many times over the telly daily to "Kibarkan Jalur Gemilang".

What has been forgotten in the haste to get as many Jalur Gemilang flying is that the Jalur Gemilang deserves our care and respect when flying it for it is a national symbol. It appears that there are rules to be followed when flying the national flag, see this article. But the way some of our Jalur Gemilangs have been treated, or should it be mistreated, reflects poorly on those who have bothered to fly them in the first place. FotoLone photographers were out in late July and early August to take some shots of these Jalur Gemilangs which have seen better days.
