Ex-Selangor Official Criticises 'Disproportionate' Council Action Over Flag Incident

The former official has accused a local council of adopting an overly aggressive stance in handling what appears to be a flag protocol issue, describing the response as "more ruthless than a tiger."

In his challenge to the authorities, the ex-council member demanded clarification on the specific by-law under which the decision was made. His criticism centres on what he characterises as a disproportionate response to the incident, raising questions about the proportionality and necessity of the council's actions.

The remarks highlight ongoing tensions between state-level officials and local municipal authorities in Selangor, with disputes sometimes emerging over the application of local regulations and enforcement approaches. The former executive council member's intervention suggests concerns that routine administrative matters may be handled with unnecessary severity.

The local council has not yet issued a formal response to the challenge regarding the legal authority for its decision-making process in this matter.
