GEORGE TOWN: A massive Jalur Gemilang now flies proudly at St Xavier’s Institution (SXI) in Lebuh Farquhar symbolising national pride as the school prepares to mark Malaysia Day on Sept 16.

Measuring 2.7m by 5.5m, the flag was hoisted on the school’s main flagpole in a ceremony yesterday by students from the school’s Malaysian Combined Cadet Force while others sang the national anthem.
