Singapore Flag & Pole
Singapore Flag & Pole
Any idea where I can buy (or be given) a decent sized flag (like around a metre wide) and a pole/support? I want to put one on my balcony, and thump my chest with pride on National Day.
Thanks
Thanks

Just ensure the flag is correct, and is hanged properly .. or you will be in Stomp/TOC/TRS (choose one .. )sgstrait wrote:Any idea where I can buy (or be given) a decent sized flag (like around a metre wide) and a pole/support?

A few Flags out for SG50 seem to be of 'wrong' design .. and suddenly a lot of Singapore Flag Specialists are crying foul.

The computer image (Moon & Stars) was probably flipped vertically so that the star point that is supposed to be at 12 o'clock is at 6 o'clock. Would have been an easy mistake to make.

Preposterous!
Ministers get paid handsomely so that they are motivated enough not to make mistakes and make sure that motivation flows all the way downstream.

Yeah, in today's xenophobic atmosphere, I reckon you probably could.

Re: Singapore Flag & Pole
It probably applies to all but a few countries and this is something very obvious (the findings of this survey). Afterall nationalism is often not so far away from racism and large part of it uses national symbols.Nihility wrote:Can you apply the following newspaper article to Singapore?
Re: Singapore Flag & Pole
Could be worse http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from ... e-33758635, at least the incorrect SG flag isn't that of another country
