On Jan 13, Hollywood actor Mark Hamill announced that he is deleting his Facebook account in a post on Twitter and Malaysians are having fun with his announcement.

This is due to Hamill accidentally using the Malaysian flag emoji in his announcement instead of the American flag to express how there are more important values than profit. Some users have said they can relate to his announcement while others are also expressing their patriotism with Hamill's tweet.
