LANGKAWI: Police yesterday arrested two individuals for placing the Jalur Gemilang and Kedah flag upside down at their premises on Jalan Pandak Mayah here.
Langkawi district police chief Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said police made the arrests at 5pm after receiving a report earlier in the day.
He said the complainant saw the two flags being placed upside down at the sundry shop.
“It is a convenience store in a two-storey building which has been operating for the past 15 years.
“The two arrested individuals, a 60-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman, are the owners of the premises,” he said.
