KUALA PILAH: It has been the tradition for Mohamad Latif Atan in the last 12 years to express his love for the nation by putting up Jalur Gemilang around his house in Kampung Tanjung Ipoh, near here, every August.
The 64-year-old government pensioner and his wife Rahimah Abu Bakar, 60, started collecting the flags when they were still working and now they have about 200 flags of numerous sizes.
“Collecting the flag is my hobby. Each time I got my salary, I would buy the flag. This is to express my appreciation to those who had fought for our nation’s independence and sovereignty,” he said.
