Longing to see Jalur Gemilang at Parliament building

NESTLED amid lush greenery, the Malaysian Parliament building, inaugurated in November 1963, is a symbol of the nation’s democracy. However, there is a glaring omission in its aesthetics that cannot be overlooked – the absence of a prominent Malaysian flag flanked by the flags of all the states in our beloved country.

Around the world, national and state flags are prominently displayed at significant landmarks to evoke a sense of pride and patriotism. For instance, in the United States, the American national flag is flown all around the Capitol in Washington DC. Similarly, India’s Parliament House features the country’s national flag flying high.
