flying flag = patriotism

hey!! whaddya know!! i’m so patriotic… i have our jalur gemilang (malaysian flag) right up in my blog. i believe i might be the first blogger to do so. hmm… where is my datukship? ;p

don’t blame me for getting that idea. blame our bow-tie minister of information, datuk paduka abdul kadir sheikh fadzir.

at a certain event launching on 10 august, he had this to say:
“to proudly fly the jalur gemilang is the easiest way for us to show our love and gratitude to the nation.”

wow! and he is the minister of information? mis-information more like it. there are so many other ways we can show our patriotism than merely taking a piece of cloth with red and white stripes and a yellow star and crescent and let it fly on our roofs, vehicles, etc. shows one’s patriotism? read lone’s blog on this subject. he had given good points on how we can really show our patriotism.
