THE national flag police may need to get off their virtue-carriage now because another flag-related blunder appears to have landed, and this time, right in their backyard.
The offender is not a newspaper, a factory or some random business. It was a vehicle believed to be used by the Chief Minister of Malacca, Ab Rauf Yusoh.
According to several posts carrying the news, the chief minister was illustrated beside the Malacca flag, which strangely features a star with 10 points.
Since UMNO has in the past enjoyed a lot of political mileage by pointing out flag-related blunders done by others, netizens very gleefully viralled this mistake.
Nak tanya org Melaka, mana pejuang samurai korang? Dah masuk gua ke? Bukan calang2 ni, KM sendiri yg buat salah ni.. 🫣😅
Bintang bendera Melaka ada 5 bucu je oii!! Bukan 10 bucu.. 🫣
Naturally, Malaysians have taken to cyberspace to ask the obvious question: where is Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh?
Netizen mhd.arff__ on threads said everyone should tag him so he could correct the mistake.
Surely this is exactly the sort of thing that would normally summon the fiery UMNO Youth Chief from wherever he happens to be.
But aaronalangx thinks the man might be a little slow to respond.
On Facebook, Faiz Huzaini joked that the vehicle has to make two turns around Malacca, hence the 10 points on the flag, and not five.
Many others could be seen hollering for Akmal to come out and condemn his own people for the mistake.
Malaysians did not forget that in August 2025, he demanded action over a Jalur Gemilang that had been displayed upside down and even threatened to personally conduct a lesson on how to hang the flag properly if action was not taken.
Of course, mistakes happen. Flags can be printed incorrectly, stitched wrongly or reproduced inaccurately.
The sensible response would be to correct the mistake instead of making a press conference to gain browny points.
Perhaps Akmal could now demonstrate that his love for the flag comes without a party membership filter.
Now all that remains is for him to find his megaphone, climb down from the virtue-carriage and tell his own side that flags, like principles, should probably be applied consistently.—Sept 23, 2026
