Hangin' Flags

Malaysia's 52 years old birthday is on this coming weekend. I joke with someone during lunch time...

Kwong: So XXX, are you going to hang the National Flag in front of your home? (knowing that he lived in a semi-detached house)

XXX: Crazy la, the way the government say if you don't hang the flag, means you are not patriotic!? There is a lot of way to show patriotism, not by just hanging flags!

Kwong: Yeah, my fren received a letter from DBKL, he stayed in shoplot, he was 'asked' to put up a flag, it is more like a 'forced patriotism'...

XXX: Ya lo, later on they will say only some companies can sell the national flags, cuz this panel company's flag 'meets the requirement'. (Cronies in action)

Kwong: Yeah, you are right...if you are selling flags, they will say your standard doesn't meet the government's requirement, at the same time, they don't give you what is their requirement. They will say the "authorised seller" can meet the requirement, such as the dark blue color is close enough to the original flag, red is not too bright, this and that... Hahahahah

XXX: Worse thing is, after you spent RM50 or more to put up the flag and show your patriotism. Some politicians will say you (the non-Malays) are "Pendatang" or Squatters...Hahaha

Kwong: Hahhahahaah

(Nevermind if you can't catch the joke.... It is 'funny' in a way, and 'sad' on the other way.)
