KUCHING, July 11 — The giant Sarawak flag at the tallest flagpole in the country and South-east Asia is not damaged and torn as alleged in a viral video, said Kuching City North Commission (DBKU) director Mohamed Khaidir Abang.

“Please be advised that such statement and video are not true. Initial action was taken by the DBKU at the location of the flagpole, and it was found that the flag was wet and this had caused the flag to fold and look like it was damaged and torn.
