Hi! My name is Prazime and I am the Malaysian GG Ambassador and would love to answer your question
ReplyDeleteFor the 1st question The Malaysian flag, known as "Jalur Gemilang" (Stripes of Glory), symbolizes the country's unity, Islam as the official religion, and its federal system of government. The 14 alternating red and white stripes represent the 13 states and the federal government, signifying equal status and unity. The blue canton symbolizes harmony among the diverse population, while the yellow crescent and 14-point star (the "Bintang Persekutuan" or Federal Star) represent Islam and the unity of the states and the federal government. The yellow color also reflects the monarchy, a significant part of Malaysia's heritage.
ReplyDeleteFor the 2nd question, Policing in Malaysia is primarily handled by the Royal Malaysia Police (Polis Diraja Malaysia, PDRM), a centralized national law enforcement agency under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The PDRM is responsible for maintaining public order, enforcing laws, preventing crime, and ensuring national security. With its headquarters in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur, the PDRM operates through various specialized branches, including Criminal Investigation, Narcotics, and Special Branch (for intelligence and counter-terrorism).
ReplyDeleteDrinking alcohol for everyone is not illegal in Malaysia, but there are specific restrictions primarily influenced by religious, cultural, and legal factors. Malaysia is a multicultural country with a significant Muslim population, and under Islamic law (Sharia), which applies to Muslims, the consumption of alcohol is prohibited. Therefore, Muslims in Malaysia are legally forbidden from drinking alcohol. However, non-Muslims are permitted to consume alcohol, and it is widely available in licensed establishments, such as bars, restaurants, and stores, particularly in urban and tourist areas. The restrictions are also enforced through legal measures, such as fines or imprisonment for Muslims found drinking, as part of upholding Islamic principles in the country.
