Respond with compassion when mistakes happen   


SOMETIMES, in the rush of preparations for an event, mistakes happen. A flag may be hung upside down or a symbol may be displayed incorrectly. These are often due to human error and not acts of disrespect.

When such incidents occur, especially involving our beloved Jalur Gemilang, our response matters. Do we react with anger and suspicion (bersangka buruk)? Or do we pause, reflect and choose to respond with understanding and wisdom (bersangka baik)? This is where we must return to the very spirit of the four colours of our national flag.
