Can businesses opt not to fly the flags?  If can then better don la. If govt ask, jus say that we are sked of closing for 30 days.

What is a violation under the Business and Trade bylaws? Hanging a flag wrongly?
I am not so sure.

so how close their office? gaji buta for a month ?

Section 45 of the Trade, Business, Industry and Professions By-Laws (UUK) 1982  (Undang-undang Kecil Tred, Perniagaan, Perindustrian dan Profesyen, 1982)

All the Johor councils have that Section 45 provisions in their by-laws:

JOHOR BARU: Just days after reprimanding a mini supermarket in Pekan Nanas for flying the state flag upside down, the Pontian Minicipal Council (MPPn) has come under fire itself for a flag-related mishap.

MPPn has drawn flak for allegedly sharing a photo of a decoration featuring the wrong number of points on the star of the Jalur Gemilang.

In the photo, which was reportedly posted on the MPPn Facebook page, the star on a replica of the national flag had 16 points instead of the correct 14.

The post, which has since been removed, is believed to show the exterior decoration of a building in Pontian in conjunction with National Day.

When contacted, an official from the council said they were in the midst of investigating the allegation.

This came just days after MPPn ordered a mini supermarket in Pekan Nanas, Pontian, to close for 30 days after it was found to be flying the Johor flag upside down.

Prior to that, a dental clinic was also issued a similar order for displaying the Jalur Gemilang upside down.

Not enough stars is just printing and design issue.. lazy

Putting the flag upside down means the country is in distress and disrespecting .. like how Malaysian students in Taiwan done back in 2018

YANG DI-PERTUAN AGONG: BENDERA ADALAH LAMBANG KEDAULATAN NEGARA, TIDAK BOLEH DIPERSENDAKAN

KDYMM SPB Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim bertitah, menegaskan bendera adalah lambang kedaulatan serta identiti sesebuah negara.

Seri Paduka Baginda, bertitah bendera bukan sekadar kain bercorak yang berwarna-warni, tetapi mewakili perjuangan, sejarah, erti kemerdekaan serta semangat rakyat jelata.

“Kita sebagai rakyat mengibarkan bendera dengan rasa megah dan semangat patriotik dalam kalangan masyarakat berbilang bangsa.

“Kesilapan memaparkan gambar Jalur Gemilang tanpa bulan sabit seperti disiarkan dalam muka hadapan di sebuah akhbar berbahasa Cina tempatan boleh mencetuskan sensitiviti rakyat dan tidak boleh diterima,” titah Seri Paduka Baginda pada hari ini (16 April).

Seri Paduka Baginda, bertitah pihak pengurusan dan jabatan pengarang akhbar berkenaan seharusnya lebih peka dan menyemak sesuatu bahan siaran terlebih dahulu sebelum dicetak untuk siaran.
