Flag



I am sure many of us will know the significance of a flag. In ancient times, often in war, the flag bearer will charged forth together with his batallion and do battle. And usually the opposite camp, will try to grab and trample on the flag to declare victory. The same goes when you managed to achieve a certain feat, for instance mountain climbing. You stick the flag on the pinnacle point at the summit, or if you're an astronaut, you will place you flag proudly on the moon or wherever you're at.

When you're in the Olympics, the 3 winners will have their flags raised up in unison. And when the flag is raised in the school assembly, you will stand still as a mark of respect.

But MCA has not learn the essence and importance of the flag. Or should I say, selective respect. While they let their MCA flag fly proudly, look at the state of the 2 other flags, the Penang and Malaysia flag. Its in a torn diliapitated state, I feel disgusted seeing how MCA treat the flag. This picture was taken in MCA branch in Kg Baru. Utter disgrace to me. If MCA cant learn how to respect a flag, they can never learn to respect the people which the flag represents.

I remember there was once, people got prosecuted for flying the flag upside down and the authorities wanted to bring charges to those who do not respect the national flag. So now please please is someone doing anything about MCA?

P/S: Pic was taken on 30th May. Maybe they had replaced the flag by now…………….maybe……….
