In Kuala Lumpur, a controversy erupted over Sin Chew Daily’s front-page illustration of Malaysia’s Jalur Gemilang flag without its crescent moon, published on April 15, 2025. Dr. Azizul Azli Ahmad, a lecturer, called it a deliberate strategy, not an error, suggesting a “de-Islamization” narrative. He argued the missing crescent, a key Islamic symbol, implied Malaysia sacrificing its identity for closer ties with China, whose flag appeared intact. The imagery portrayed China as dominant, Malaysia as diminished. Sin Chew Daily apologized, citing an unintentional technical error, and promised a corrected version. The incident sparked debates about media manipulation and national identity.
