Where the Flags?

Where are the Flags?

We have a weird rule about displaying flats outside our home. We can't display it too early (before Aug). And we have to take it down after Aug.

Lately some of us observed that the number of flags displayed at the HDB has declined. Is the flag display an indication of citizens satisfaction?

Why are they not putting it up?
a. Don't have flag
b. Don't know where the flag is
c. Flag is dirty
d. Don't mean anything. "The heart knows. That's good enough. Don't have to show off"
e. Not happy with the govt

They said that in the past, the residents have it for FREE.
Then later, they could buy it for a few dollars.
Now, I'm not sure if they are still selling it.
