Flying the Flag

Does this constitute flying the flag upside down? A quick check on the internet reveals that flying the flag upside down is considered a distress signal.

"...not a mark of disrespect, and in fact is considered by many to be the highest form of patriotism."

Ye ke? How about the fella who met Najib at his open house dressed in the Malaysian flag from head to toe? I thought the flag was not supposed to be made into clothing? And yet we see the fella with a big grin on his face shaking hands with our Primer Minister. And it's not supposed to be draped on your car bonnet unless you're driving a coffin. And even if you were driving a coffin, it's only allowed for state funerals. For more information, looks at this flag ethics guide.

Love your country. Love your flag. Don't mistake loving your country with loving the government of the day. :D

There were politicians relating hanging flag to the patriotism, it's nonsense. I feel that those who wore the flag is kinda disrespectful to the country....

I don't see how flying the flag / having the flag painted on car / face means anything patriotic or not ...
