In spirit with upcoming PRU 13, various political
parties take the chance to raise their party’s flags. This phenomenon shows
that the citizens are aware of the forthcoming national event.
Varied political parties’ flags were displayed
in many styles and places. Vehicle. Building. Light poles. Roof. Fence. Signboard.
Along the road divider. As far as eyes can see, there are always political
parties flags hang in everywhere. In certain place, it looks like a war flag.
HOWEVER, the influx flags had been inviting discomfort to the residents and road users. Generally, the function of raising
the flags is to increase the spirit of particular parties and campaign.
Therefore, many people have hanged it up based on their creative ways to get
people attention. And ‘this creative ways’ has created problems to others.
Noticeably, too many unorganized flags pollute
the view. The flags have limiting the view of the road, which in turn can cause
accidents. Several people desperately put the flags on signboard and close the
information displayed.
For local people, it’s not a big deal as they are
familiar with the particular areas. BUT, for outsiders it’s a BIG trouble if
they are depending on signboard to reach their destination.
Raising our own party’s flags is not an offense.
HOWEVER, the compatibility of the place should be taking into account to
prevent further problems.
TNB, in several medium has prohibit public from hanging any flags on electric poles for their safety. see the news

always far little compared during PRU. In fact, being patriotic to the nation
is far more important compared to the political party....
