Reward me, I'm patriotic

Help us catch the culprit who burned the national flag, and you will be richer and holier. That seems to the message I'm getting from the Terengganu State UMNO Youth. They're offering a RM5,000 reward and a trip to perform the umrah (pilgrimage to Mecca) to the person who can provide information leading to the arrest of the person caught on film burning the national flag during the riot at Batu Burok on Saturday night.

If we were truly patriotic about this country of ours that we live in, we wouldn't need these rewards to catch culprits because none of these incidents would happen. Naive thinking? Yes. But better than burning flags.
