BALIK PULAU: Believing that even a single Jalur Gemilang can ignite a sense of pride, former army personnel Abd Hamid Hussin has adorned his home in Kampung Titi Teras with thousands of flags.

With his colourful home now a familiar sight during the Merdeka season, Abd Hamid hopes it will inspire others to fly the national flag as a show of patriotism.
