JOHOR BARU: Just days after reprimanding a mini supermarket in Pekan Nanas for flying the state flag upside down, the Pontian Minicipal Council (MPPn) has come under fire itself for a flag-related mishap.
MPPn has drawn flak for allegedly sharing a photo of a decoration featuring the wrong number of points on the star of the Jalur Gemilang.
In the photo, which was reportedly posted on the MPPn Facebook page, the star on a replica of the national flag had 16 points instead of the correct 14.
The post, which has since been removed, is believed to show the exterior decoration of a building in Pontian in conjunction with National Day.
When contacted, an official from the council said they were in the midst of investigating the allegation.
This came just days after MPPn ordered a mini supermarket in Pekan Nanas, Pontian, to close for 30 days after it was found to be flying the Johor flag upside down.
Prior to that, a dental clinic was also issued a similar order for displaying the Jalur Gemilang upside down.
