Flying the Jalur Gemilang is not the yardstick to measure an individual's patriotism, said National Civics Bureau director-general Dr Nordin Kardi today.

His comment comes in the wake of Culture, Arts and Tourism Minister Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir's lament yesterday that not many Malaysians were flying the national flag and this reflected their lack of patriotism.

The minister, who said he was 'saddened' by the situation, added that this could give rise to detrimental consequences.
