SINGAPORE: Singaporeans have voiced concern after a badly worn Singapore flag was spotted hanging from a Housing and Development Board (HDB) block in Hougang ahead of the National Day celebrations. The issue came to light after an eyewitness shared a photograph showing what appeared to be a faded, torn and tattered national flag displayed at Block 178B Hougang Street 12. The individual said the flag was seen on July 23 and questioned whether it met the official guidelines governing the display of the national flag. “The flag appears to be badly damaged and has been left displayed in this condition,” he said. He also described the sight as “disrespectful”, adding that the national flag “should always be displayed with dignity and respect”.
