A LOCAL man has been remanded for two days from today to facilitate investigations into the hoisting of the Jalur Gemilang and the Johor flag upside down at an industrial building in Senai. 

Kulai district police chief Tok Beng Yeow said the 45-year-old man surrendered himself at the Senai police station at 11.30pm yesterday.

The case is being investigated under section 5 of the Emblem and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963 and section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955,” he said in a statement today.
