ACTRESS Mira Filzah (pic) found herself in hot water after she used the wrong flag in a post to show her support for the Palestinian people, Kosmo! reported.
The 31-year-old had shared the picture of a flag, which she thought was the Palestinian flag, together with an inspirational quote on Instagram.
However, people immediately pointed out that the flag she had used was in fact the Sudanese flag, which subsequently resulted in many criticising the actress for her post.
Mira, who has been a vocal advocate of the Palestinian people, has since removed the post.

His wife Zaitoon said Jay Jay would be heavily monitored as the pop singer remained unconscious after the operation.
“Thankfully, my husband has survived the surgery though he is still not conscious.
“I will let everyone know if there is any further development,” she told the daily.
