Malaysian Officials Urge Proper Jalur Gemilang Respect During Merdeka Month

News summary

National pride and respect for the flag remain paramount across different countries and communities in 2025. In Malaysia, unity advocates emphasize the importance of treating the Jalur Gemilang with dignity during Merdeka Month, urging proper display and replacement of damaged flags to avoid politicization and maintain national values like unity and courage. Similarly, Indian guidelines stress ceremonial respect for the national flag, prohibiting its use as decoration or allowing it to touch the ground, with specific instructions on its display and proportions. In the United States, the American flag has become a complex symbol, especially for LGBTQ+ communities who see it as both a marker of danger and defiance; the documentary "Reclaim the Flag" explores these conflicting meanings through voices from the community. Additionally, American educator Brad Puckett utilizes the DAV Field of Flags program to teach patriotism and honor veterans, highlighting the ongoing efforts to instill respect and understanding of national symbols and sacrifices among younger generations.
