Flying the Malaysian Flags

A lot has been said about how few flags is being flown this Merdeka season.

I have no comments on flying the flag at homes, shops and offices. But I have a reason why there is less flags flown on cars.

For info I've never put on those little flags on my car. Never ever.

Last year petrol was RM 1.92 pr liter. This year it is RM 2.55, and RM 2.70 just weeks ago. Those flags on your moving vehicles cause a lot of drag, and drag will mean you will use up more fuel. More hydrocarbon burnt. Not exactly a good thing for the environment, or your pocket.

There are still lots of those little flags on cars and taxis. And big ones on trucks. Maybe for he trucks especially, the drivers don't pay for the fuel from their own pocket. And I'm quite sure the majority of the taxi and truck drivers didn't score A1 on Physics.

Just my thoughts.
