KOTA KINABALU, Oct 25 — The people of Sabah and Sarawak remain firmly committed to upholding Malaysia’s sovereignty and reject any provocation involving the disrespectful display of the Jalur Gemilang by irresponsible parties overseas, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah and Sarawak) Datuk Mustapha Sakmud said.
He was responding to an incident involving a group of individuals from the ‘Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) Australia’ organisation, who staged a demonstration and displayed the Jalur Gemilang upside down in Melbourne on October 24 in conjunction with United Nations Day.
“The actions of a group of Malaysians disrespecting the Jalur Gemilang overseas risk tarnishing the reputation of Malaysians studying and working in those countries.
