The "Swastika" you saw in Malaysia, Was it not a reversed swastika? A medical symbol, I think.
There was a large white building in Singapore in the mid seventies that had a row of red reversed swastika symbols around the top of it. It may still be there.
I cannot recall the details, but I believe the Swastika symbol had a noble/ honourable meaning for a long time before the Nazi's swiped it.

You are both correct. I actually took some photos in the Temple, but do you think I can find them. There is also a building in Georgetown Penang with a band of reversed swastika accross it, I think it was a Chinese medical place. I also saw them on a Chenese swimming pool.

Cheers

Here is an American motor vehicle made in the USA. The KRIT. It was a small automobile manufacturing company (1909-1916) based in Detroit, Michigan.

Its emblem was the Swastika and was taken from a good luck charm of the native American Indian tribe, the Navajo. (It was also used by other tribes as well.)

regards Rick

Diana,if you use the correct/period flag you could mount a small disclaimer notice to remove you from any political leanings of the flag.
Just a thought and a possible way around the problem.
