Flying High

At one glimse you would probably think, "arent those flags flying look like US flags"? Yes, they may look but they definetely ain't. It's not election time either. It's Malaysian. The Malaysian flag has some similarities to the US in terms of its red and white stripes but there are many other differences.

Here you see them decked from one side of the road to the other in a suburban locality in downtown KL (Kuala Lumpur), the country's capital. In the midst of heavy traffic these colour flags spring a sense of patriotism for the people of this land. The country just completed its 50th year of Independence this 31st day of August.
