However, in spite of the enthusiasm, netizens were horrified and outraged to see a man cutting a row of Jalur Gemilangs into half in front of the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTiC), an act which they saw as an insult.

In the 34-second TikTok clip posted by @iekakartika_ _ yesterday, it showed the man using a pair of scissors to cut the Jalur Gemilangs that were displayed along the sidewalk into half.
