Previously, we shared how Singaporeans condemned the act of an HDB flat resident in Yishun Central who put up a Malaysian flag among a sea of Singaporean
flags during the Republic’s National Day celebration back in August.
Called the National Emblems Act 1949, Section 3 of the legislation expressly prohibits any person from displaying in public, or at or within any school any ‘national emblem’.Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Malaysian lawyer Ahmad Danial bin Mohd Azlan, a partner of Kuala Lumpur-based law firm ADIL Legal explained that what is meant by ‘national emblem’ is defined under Section 2 of the same act to be:
Should the offender be an individual, they may face up to 6 months in jail, up to RM500 fine or both if convicted. Should the offender be a body corporate, they may face a fine of up to RM1,000 if convicted. In addition, Section 6 of the Act below gives the power to the police to arrest without a warrant any person whom they have reasonable cause to believe has committed or is committing an offence under the National Emblems Act 1949.
