Aavyn Eliseus Ng, at just two years and nine months, has earned a place in the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for recognising 40 flags within 60 seconds.

The toddler holds the title "Most International Flags Identified By A Toddler In 1 Minute". He completed the feat on Aug 3 at MBR’s headquarters in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. For the task, the MBR team shuffled a pack of flag flashcards, showed it to him and he successfully named the flags within the time frame.
