Why flay the flag flyers?

COMMENT We are fast becoming an incredibly intolerant society. Two guys tried flying their imaginary flag - Sang Saka Malaya (Sacred Malaya) - on the eve of this year’s Merdeka celebrations and were immediately flayed by the establishment.

An Umno minister was being incredulous when he accused them of wanting to get rid of our beloved Agong and turning our homeland into a republic. Communist even.

The design of the flag is simple enough, in red and white with a yellow crescent and star on the top left. It has an uncanny resemblance to the flags of Indonesia and Singapore and even that of Umno, the dominant component party of the BN.
