Commenting on a picture of Indian Muslim restaurant workers donning the Malaysian flag as aprons that went viral online, PPIM head Datuk Nadzim Johan said they were probably caught between patriotism and respect. “But there is a limit, although the workers might have meant no malice in the way they wore the flag,” he added. Malaysian Indian Muslim Chamber of Commerce head Datuk Jamarulkhan Kadir agreed with Nadzim that it was not right to wear the Malaysian flag as an apron. He said using the flag on a cap is more acceptable as it is an act of “carrying the flag”. Jamarulkhan, a former president of the Malaysian Indian Muslim Restaurant Owners Association, however, said the restaurant concerned had probably wanted to promote the flag and used the apron unwittingly.
