Basketball association apologises for ‘five-pointed star’ M’sian flag

The Malaysian Basketball Association (Maba) has apologised for displaying a wrong Malaysian flag during the opening ceremony of a basketball match last night.

The flag, with a five-pointed star and 11 red and white stripes, was shown on the stadium TV screen as the national anthem was played together with the Westport Malaysia logo.

The Jalur Gemilang has a 14-pointed star and 14 red and white stripes that represent the nation’s 13 states and the Federal Territories.
