It falls under their prerogative, says government official


A mark of respect: Malaysian and Perak flags are flown at half-mast at Ipoh railway station.

PETALING JAYA: The decision to fly state and Malaysian flags at half-mast is the prerogative of the heads of states, said a government official.

The senior official, who declined to be named, said there was no official announcement by the Cabinet on the matter despite Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s statement in Parliament on Tuesday.
