Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh and his wing members had gathered in front of a hardware store in Kepala Batas, Penang, which was at the centre of an inverted national flag controversy.

Bersatu Youth members also joined the rally against the businessperson who went viral holding a Jalur Gemilang upside down.

Lawyers for Liberty (LFL), including its director Zaid Malek, also showed up to make a stand against the Umno Youth protest.
