UMNO Youth Chief Dr Akmal Saleh said an apology is not enough from MCA for the upside-down hoisting of the Jalur Gemilang and Perak state flags at the Perak MCA headquarters in Ipoh.

He said the employee's resignation is also not sufficient, adding, "I want to ask MCA, is that really all? Are you just going to leave it at that?"

In the Facebook video post, Akmal also urged the police to pursue their investigation transparently and called on the government to toughen laws and penalties against individuals who disrespect national symbols.
