TELUPID: Upko Youth has emphasised that the national flag should remain a symbol of unity and togetherness, rather than a source of division.
Its chief, Felix Joseph Saang (pic), said current debates surrounding the flag could be resolved through better approaches without turning the matter into a street issue or open polemic.
He urged the public to allow the authorities space to conduct investigations, stressing that any errors could be corrected through guidance, while deliberate acts could be addressed under existing laws.

He said the youth wing carried the responsibility to voice concern over sensitive matters and to ensure the flag continues to be upheld as a unifying symbol for all citizens.
