PORT KLANG: Wanting to create a festive environment to welcome the country’s upcoming 68th National Day, a fishing village here has decorated its common area with the Jalur Gemilang and Selangor flags.

Bagan Hailam headman Loo Cheng Boon, 57, said in previous years, the entire village used to be covered in flags, but this year, many had wanted the common gathering area to be decorated instead.
