In a [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1708896323161536), MBPP shared that its enforcement team carried out *Ops Negaraku* to ensure the national flag continues to fly proudly across George Town and nearby areas.

Officers were seen replacing old and torn flags with new ones, fixing flags that were upside down due to strong winds, and reminding premises owners about treating the flag with respect.

The council stressed that the Jalur Gemilang is not just a piece of cloth, but a unifying symbol for Malaysians that should be flown with pride.

## Encouraging patriotism among residents

MBPP also urged all residents to participate in showing their love for Malaysia by putting up the national flag at their homes and business premises.

The post encouraged people not to worry about perfection, but to display the flag sincerely as a sign of patriotism.

> **Let us celebrate the national month with fresh and beautiful Jalur Gemilang flying across every corner of Penang,” the post read.**

***'This is great… it’s more noble to replace the flag and remind people directly than to make a viral video. Politicians have no real ideas.'***
