JOHOR BARU: The Pontian Municipal Council's (MPPn) decision to issue 30-day closure notices to two premises for flying the national and state flags upside down is lawful, says state executive councillor Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor.

The Johor housing and local government committee chairman said the action was consistent with the provisions under 49(2) of the Business and Trade Licensing Bylaws (UUK) 2019, which gave councils the power to close premises following confirmation of a violation.
