In August,we are ready to celebrate the arrival of the National Day.
Flying the flag to celebrate National Day activities will be from August 17 to September 16.
This is also the provisions of the Government for a period of one month of National Day activities.
We can see flags flying all over the country espeacially in schools.But there are many people do not know how to display the National flag and the State flag.
There is no law about the positioning of the National and State flags.It is a custom,referring to protocol. Government observe this protocol. So, if you observe the way that schools displaying the flags,that should be the ''proper'' way to display. Most public wouldn't care to the details of protocol but its given a very important attention by the government because its very much about its sovereignty.
Last month during the one month of National Day activities ,I observed many buildings and schools concerning how they displayed the flags. I noticed what they called the "proper" way is as follow: If you stand facing the front of the building, the National flag should be displayed on the left side while the State flag on the right.
My information here is more of a guideline.Just like how the pictures of Agung, Sultan or Head of State, PM & CM is displayed. Which picture to display on which side & what level.If you go to different banks,you will noticed that they displayed the pictures differently as compared to government offices. Haha,as such if you don't follow this guideline,no one can send you to the jail!
